Just a suspicion: when you transfer the file from Unix/Linux to Windows to pick it up with Excel, do you adjust the line endings? If not, then Excel probably might be confused ...

Check it with notepad: after transferring the file open it with notepad and if it looks like a regular text file, everything is OK. If everything appears to be on one very long line with funny characters instead of the line feeds then retransmit the file using "ascii" as the FTP mode instead of "binary".

I hope this helps.
