The full error message will tell you what stage this is coming from, could be sequential or a hashed file. Also try searching the forums for "unable to read file header", there are a couple of other posts out there on the subject.

It suggests to me that you're trying to read a sequential file with a hashed file stage. The ds_uvopen() function relates only to a Hashed File stage. If you had been using a Sequential File stage the function would have been DSD.SeqOpen().
