Thanks to all who replied. My suspisions seem to have been right and
my datavendor is doing something wrong.
a few more questions (and some clarification) about the error (if i may :-)

That is all my datavendor puts on the harddisk.

If i open the files with the downloader that file is (automaticaly) created.

If i open the directory with the downloader the master.dat file is being
(automaticaly) renamed to MASTER.DAT.

I can view the files without having to do all that. but the downloader
is doing a lot automaticaly for me. (at the end it ofcourse is all the same.
something is wrong)

How important is that ? that also is a date issue but i can not imagine
that it couses my problem. I believe by the way that i also tested with
country settings to US.

Strangely enough, also the last date settings are incorrect. In the
screenshot you can see a correct last date but if you for
instance choose Adjust first date from the
tools menu you will also see an incorrect last date.

I hope to convince them they are doing something wrong so they can correct
the "problem". This daily data option from my data vendor is a very nice
one.

If it all works i don't need to convert anything and i can look at the data
every minute and it will have the last prices. It's a nice option, now just
have to get it without errors :-))
Again Ton (and others), thanks for the effort you have put into it.
