I had a similar issue when migrating Pro/E file into an SAP based PLM system. Some parameters in older Pro/E files included special characters like °, ± or Ø, but they were expressed as combinations of special control characters in Pro/E.  For instance  <CTRL-A>$  <CTRL-A> =°,   <CTRL-A>#   <CTRL-A>=± and  <CTRL-A> n  <CTRL-A> =Ø. You need to replace the combinations of special control characters with standard ascii characters. Perform a search for the dollar sign, or number sign in your metadata to see if any of those combinations are present in your .xml file
