If you change DATETIME to DATETIME20 and put your date in
quotes, then this should work.
If your unmodified file works on SPSS, then this should be considered a bug
and reported like any other.

Hey,
I just tried to use PSPP for my thesis but I can't get it to import my
SPSS-File.
I did an online-survey and the provider of it offers the data in two
files, either a combined SPSS-file holding syntax and data or a separat
syntax to use with a data-file. They state that the combined format only
works for SPSS version > 17,... as the error on both formats is the
same, I therefor assume that PSPP is able to handle such combined
formats?
The error is: Syntax1:12: syntax error: Input format DATETIME0.0
specifies width 0, but DATETIME requires a width between 17 and 40.
The line 12 in the combined file is: STARTED (DATETIME)
The column STARTED looks like: 24-07-2010 14:22:05
Version in use: 0.6.2
I hope the information provided helps to make my problem clear...
So long
Andy
