Ahh -- in your schematic you have footprint names like

footprint=RADIAL_CAN 200

with spaces in name, I think this is calling the m4 macro processor.
So "skip-m4" will not work! But at the same time you are using
pcb-symbols-jcl_2008-4-25 and your own containing the problematic minus
sign in file name. 

I think I have to rename all of them, including John Luciani's.
