Without seeing the actual part file I have no way of knowing what the problem might be. I suspect that the you're attempting to define a thread using a text string that does NOT match any entries in the threaded hole data file.

OK, I see the problem. The fields in your spreadsheet, which represent 'string' Expressions, must be written with double-quotes, as in "#1-64 UNJC" and "Inch UNJC".
