[Geotiff] error using geotifcp

I'm trying to use the listgeo and geotifcp routines from libgeotiff 
to edit some tags in geotiff images I'm producing with RSI's ENVI 
software (following a suggestion from Tim Rupe of the USGS).

 From my geotiff image (envi_sp1_test.tif) I export the tags to an 
ascii text file (metadata.txt) using listgeo, and then edit that file 
(specifically, I'm changing GeogLinearUnitsGeoKey and 
ProjLinerarUnitsGeoKey from Linear_Foot to Linear_Foot_US_Survey)

I then try to create  a new geotiff file inserting the new tags using:

geotifcp -g metadata.txt envi_sp1_test.tif envi_sp1_survft_test.tif

but I get the following error:

'arsing Error at 'ModelTypeProjected
Failure in GTIFImport

Its failing on the first of the Keyed_Information fields.  Any 
suggestions as to what might be going wrong?

The edited metadata.txt file is appended below.

I'm running Mac OS X  10.3.3.

I'm using /geotiff/libgeotiff/geotiff-bin-114-macos10.1.tar.gz 
downloaded from ftp.remotesensing.org.  That was the latest OS X 
version I saw at the site.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
