iTunes Connect spitting back befuddling errors on valid ePub

Hey all, I have a valid ePub file that will not upload to the iTunes store, and I haven't been able to find any answers to this problem anywhere… or similar problems, for that matter.

Error is:

Quote:
Apple's Web Service Operation was not Successful.
Quote:
Unable to authenticate the package: blabla.itmsp
Quote:
ERROR ITMS-3000" "Line 64 column 57: character content of of element "publication_date" invalid; must be an ISO date at XPATH /package/book/metadata/publication_date"
This is a very short fixed layout ePub — the only files that contain over 63 lines are my opf and css files.

Compounding the matter, I am a consultant and therefore do not have access to my client's itunes connect (they are trying to upload it).

publication_date isn't even a valid entry, is it?

Any ideas are appreciated — thank you!

Edit: Removed that OPF file. This post is showing up in Google search results for the company in question, and the problem was solved without needing the file.
