Error publishing master script (4315960)

Just set up TIC, had successfully published a few automation scripts. Went to publish a master script (one that calls the others) we enable "Embed files into Automation script". Did so and saved the script and when clicked Publish, immediately got the error:

System.Xml.XmlException
