Can you insert the block DUM1 by itself or does it come up with the same error?

If it comes up with the same error, then that means the block itself is faulty. This usually happens when the block is saved with a copy of itself within the same file.

Try to open the block and then explode everything inside it. Next 'Purge All' the dwg and get rid any extra layers, fonts and whatnot.

If you can't open the block, you may need to recreate the block from scratch.
