Assuming that you do have the "Lifetime" and not the "Lifetime Ultra", it looks like you have used the right files, so it must have just been a bad upload for some unknown reason. Did you make sure that your cable in fact work with the Lifetime by running the Gtools program first? I like to test the cable by grabbing data from the receiver before trying to upload data to it.
There are a few fairly recent posts here describing how to try the "download" again by initiating the transfer right after turning the receiver on. I'd suggest reading those posts and trying it. If you want to try a different version of the data file, I have the version you have plus an older version from late last year. (I still have the older version in my receiver.)
