The error message talks about an invalid space in a name. So if you have something named e.g. "UNIT WHATEVER" try changing it to "UNIT_WHATEVER". Other than that you'd probably have to upload the actual XML files for someone here to be able to provide useful assistance.

What does it say is wrong?

This line here tells you the issue.
"The ' ' character, hexadecimal value 0x20, cannot be included in a name"
Check the name of the mod, you have an invalid character in it.
"The ' ' character, hexadecimal value 0x20, cannot be included in a name"
Check the name of the mod, you have an invalid character in it.
I'm having issues modifying icons where the game doesn't recognize the .DDS file I've created and instead fluctuates between Washington (value 0) and Songhai's leader (value 20). It's very odd.
I've been using photoshop's nvidia dds plugin to do my work, setting it to DXT1 1bit alpha with no mip mapping. Is there anything small that I could be overlooking?

@Andrebr: try zipping your XML files and attaching to a post here and I'm sure someone will take a look to see if they can find the problem.
@pbrand: The advice given in this topic is to use DXT3 or DXT5; read through that thread for further details.

If anyone wants to fix the problem, here is the link to the download:

In the file there is the XML and Art files plus the mod buddy project. Thanks

Did you maybe use a "space" in the name of your MOD?
Sorry, here is the new link, I've made some Art changes, now it is much better, but still, the same problem. Here is the new link: http://www.4shared.com/file/PWWugOi7/Brazilian_Civilization.htm

Okay Andrebr I have it. In the Mod Actions, on the line for Brazil.xml there is a space after the "UpdateDatabase" entry. Remove that space, save the project, and you should be able to build it. (see image below)
For anyone that gets this error in the future, the easiest thing to do to track it down is to look at the .civ5proj file in a text editor. This is how I found the problem for Andrebr because I saw the following:

Code:
<Action>
<Set>OnModActivated</Set>
<Type>UpdateDatabase </Type>
<FileName>XML/Civilizations/Brazil.xml</FileName>
</Action>Hmm, the switch to .dds 5 didn't solve the issue.
This is my code, using Kael's guide code as base:
Like before, the celt civilization has the American icon in the pre-game civilization selection, has the Songhai icon while it's locked in, and then reverts back to the American icon within the game.
The Actions component is up-to-date, and all of the file structure checks out. Assuming DDS5 is kosher, that should be fine as well. I'm quite disgusted with firaxis' choice in moving to an IDE. I had no problems setting up my own directories and interdependencies in CIV4, but now this tool that's supposed to make things easier is instead making them thousands of times harder?
EDIT: issue solved, don't worry about it.
