Please post the whole error message, much of the useful stufff - like 
the location of the problem! - is in the earlier lines.

However taking a wild guess - are you using Python v3?

> print "------ beginning to convert XLS to CSV ------"

If so print is now a function so you need to surround the string 
with ()

But  if you are not using v3, then please send the fuill error text.
