Maybe, your products.asc isnīt right? Did you compare your products.asc
file with the file from sample?
Maybe, anywhere is a typo (the html page? the products.asc file?
catalog.cfg?)? Maybe, If you can see all other field from your
products.asc, is anywhere in your catalog.cfg wrong?

Check the locale setting (catalog.cfg) e.g.
 Locale en_US mon_decimal_point .
 Locale en_US mon_thousands_sep ,
 Locale en_US frac_digits 2
 Locale en_US currency_symbol $
 Locale en_US p_cs_precedes 1

Compare catalog.cfg with sample catalog.cfg.

Can you post the part of your codes?
Can you post some lines of your products.asc with the first line (with
the field names)?
If you use a win machine and your shop is running in a unix machine,
make sure all asccii file is transfered in ascci mode (not binary).

Yeahh! I read the docu several times too! (Sorry for my poor english!)
But after trailing in a desert storm, you will be very happy with mv!
