Error: The input file does not appear to be a certificate request. Aborting import.

Hi,
I am using windows x64. Following the steps in the
link: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/w ... nVPN-Howto
I encountered this error under the PKI procedure at step 5.
I have built the CA cert, server keypair and request, client keypair and request separately on the same machine and saved elsewhere separately before deleting (except for CA cert) after creating each one. I then downloaded the server keypair and request, client keypair and request back into the machine and tried too import each entity request file accordingly to step 5.
I used the command "easyasr import-req /path/to/received.req UNIQUE_SHORT_FILE_NAME" in EasyRSA-Start.ba" in the command line interface as an administrator in order to perform step 5. However, I received the error, "The input file does not appear to be a certificate request. Aborting import." I have also unblocked the files before the command
Does anybody know why the error occurred or can provide advice on what I should check for in order to fix the error? Please do also tell me if the procedure I followed above is not right.
Thanks.
