I'm pretty sure this is a scrapebox issue. If you go to the Moz github and download an example client that uses the moz api with your moz api credentials, it will work fine.
Ah, I fixed it!
Seeing I couldn't get scrapebox working, I thought I would just use the moz api example client to check the moz metrics. So, I transferred the txt file from my scrapebox machine to the machine that had php on it.
When I looked at the text file in my text editor, it had some weird characters at the top. So the file actually wasn't a plain ascii text file but instead a utf-16 text file.
So then I copied all the URLs in to a plain ascii text file, copied it back to scrapebox and import in to page auth plugin and it worked.
I think it was the vanity name checker that created these text files so maybe there is a problem with that. Anyway just make sure your text files really are just plain ascii files or you'll run in to issues.
