I don't see any problems with the file you linked, and neither does XMLSpy.

You say it's a problem occasionally, and the file contains currency conversion values, which are likely to change frequently. Perhaps the file is occasionally bad?

Perhaps you should try loading the file as a text file first, and save it to disk. Then load the XmlDocument from the file on disk. That way, if it fails, you've still got the bad file to look at.
