[Ham-Mac] Help Uploading a Contest Cabrillo format to LoTW

I could use some help with the ARRL Mac LoTW tsql program.  I was under the
impression from the LoTW web page that they would accept Cabrillo or ADIF
format.  

My AA5VU.log file from the UK-DX-RTTY contest is in Cabrillo format and the
file format was accepted by the UK-DX robot.

I tried and tqsl barfed on the the first line of my file so I figured it did
not like the headers.  It crapped out with a error note that it did not like
one of the header saying "CONTEST" and quit. I then opened file with BBEdit
and deleted the administrative headers and END OF FILE thing at the bottom
so the file only contained the QSO information

I then opened tqsl.app version 1.11 and used the File "Sign existing ADIF or
Cabrillo file" menu item. It found the file and ask me to give it a new file
name and I entered UK-DX.ts8 and hit Save.  It came back with dialog box
asking me to Confirm the signed and clicked YES. This is where I ran into
trouble.  It came back with a note saying "No records output" and the file
was NOT saved.

I must be doing something wrong and could use some help
