You caught one stupid mistake (thanks) but the error message persists. 
Here is a more complete log:

Just to be sure I copied your cull.tex file and tried that. Same 
error.

Do I need to do something funky with the catcode of @?


For my next trick I will try a reinstall of texlive 2007 on another 
partition.  Stay tuned.
