Apple's web service operation was not successful
Unable to authenticate the package: 1424316545.itmsp
ERROR ITMS-4000: "Line 88 column 92: bad character content for element at XPath /package/book/assets/asset[1]/data_file/file_name"

This went through the ePub validator with no problems. Any ideas?[/QUOTE]

I had the same problem uploading my epub to Apple. It was fixed by removing the ellipsis that was somehow inserted at the end of the file name for the epub. Don't know how it got there but the ellipsis was causing Apple to reject the entire file.
