MissingSectionHeaderError when calling a command

I am trying to use the Splunk app MongoDB Commands to gather data from a MongoDB instance. I want to be able to query the data and display it in Splunk. When I call the command "|mongoshowdb" I get this error: _MissingSectionHeaderError at "C:\Program Files\Splunk\Python-2.7\Lib\ConfigParser.py", line 512 : File contains no section headers. file: C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\mongodb_commands\bin\..\local\mongodb.conf, line: 1 '\xef\xbb\xbf\n'_
