The error means just what it says. The first file in the epub must be called mimetype, must not be compressed and must contain just the characters application/epub+zip.
Either you've mis-named the mimetype file, or you're not zipping your epub up correctly.

Actually the error is cryptic since it would have been much more instructive to have said the first file must be named mimetype. If it is only checking the file name length then it is doing the user a disservice in passing a possibly bad archive that happens to have a filename that is 8 characters long but not mimetype.
