That looks wacky. Here's a snippet of mine:
code description criteria min max formula
default default price 0 9999999 0
upsg UPS Ground price 0 0 0
upsg UPS Ground price 0.01 20.00 4.95
upsg UPS Ground price 20.01 35.00 5.95
upsg UPS Ground price 35.01 50.00 6.95
If you want a flat rate shipping the formula is the rate. I don't know
what you were expecting with that 'x' in there...

I believe this is looking up something from the selector.asc file, to pair
countries with shipmodes. Does the shipmodes column contain numeric
digits? That's what you have in your shipping.asc. They need to match.
