This thread is a bit dated, but I'll add my 2 cents since there seems to be a lot of viewership despite the minimal information, maybe there's more people with questions than answers.

Anyway, I was researching another problem and came across this thread. As it turns out, I was debugging some .ps files with a VB tool and put in some delimiting characters to track some data generation stuff. When I was finished, I forgot to take out my delimiters, which were a simple series of 3 asterisks like this --> ***

So, those asterisks got added to the ps file and when the Distiller hit them, it gave me a similar error message, with the offending command of course being the asterisks. I went in, took them out, and the files distilled normally.

Short story long as it turns out (sorry bout that), whatever generated your ps file(s) created those special characters, which the Distiller cannot interpret. You'll need to track down what generated that text and why, and go from there. More an explanation than a solution, but I'm that's all I've got.
