Hi Chris,
It looks like you have some extra parens. And "text" should be "Text"
It should be:
(index)->(Latitude,Longitude,ST(Text),UnixTime,ExcelTime,Time,MM,DD,HH,mm,AirTemperature,AtmosphericPressure,MIRAvisiblity,NetAtmosphericRadiation,Rainfall,RelativeHumidity,SolarRadiation,WindDirection,WindGust,WindSpeed)

Here are some examples:
