You may have to fix your log.dat file using Excel (or send it to me and 
I will do it).

Your old data was :

..... QSL_sent/received <end_of_line>

I have added a column after comments so the format is now:

.... QSL_sent <tab> QSL_received <end_of_line>

For proper ADIF export you will want just "Y" or "N" or "N/A" (without 
the quotation marks) in these two fields.

The header line in your old file will be wrong also. You will want to 
change the single "QSL" entry to be "QSL S" tab "QSL R"

Sorry about the inconvenience but I wanted to make this change as soon 
as possible to keep things harmonized with ADIF.

(I am copying this to the list so that anyone else with an old log can 
have the instructions to upgrade also.)

We are seeing a number of I/O problems with some of the Keyspan 
adapters on OS X, but I think they should disappear with the ongoing 
updates to the OS X Keyspan drivers that have been coming out.
