I had the same issue today. It seems that Crowbar doesn't like too long paths and/or too many sub-folders where the qc-file is located. I got the same error having the the qc-file stored down in about eight sub-folders. I moved the qc-file and all necessary files to a simpler path, like: C:\Documents\test\ >>> No error anymore, Crowbar worked fine.
