It looks as though a couple of lines are longer than 80 characters, if this 
is true, then the make will fail...  When I used your screen file, editing it
to have 80 characters or less per line, I still had a comment such as:

>> sh: Comment1: not found

but using the .table command, I had columns listed:

Name              type      length     format     key
________________  ____ _____________ ___________  ___
Site_Code         int     1 words                 yes
East              doub    1 words    f11.2
North             doub    1 words    f11.2
Survey_date       text   17 chars
:
:

Current number of rows =   0

Try making sure your lines in the screen definition file are 80 characters
or less, and see if that makes any difference...
