I have a shapefile that I downloaded from EEA's Corine data set ( http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/clc-2006-vector-data-version ). It's number 313. Most of the other shapefiles in this collection can be used OK, but some (incl 313) cannot and have the same error

This is the error on the page:

Error: Shape Plugin: cannot read shape file '/usr/share/mapbox/project/corine/layers/c313/clc06_c313' (encountered during parsing of layer 'c313' in map '/usr/share/mapbox/project/corine/')

I get this error in the tilemill.log:

Exception caught while loading mapping memory file: /usr/share/mapbox/project/corine2/layers/c313/clc06_c313.shp
Shape Plugin: error processing field attributes, Shape Plugin: cannot read shape file '/usr/share/mapbox/project/corine2/layers/c313/clc06_c313'
