Cause
This failure might occur due to these reasons:
  1. The specified Action name does not exist or misspelled.
  2. The .csv file that contains AMBA actions is not comma separated, it may have been saved as wrong format, and it is semi colon separated.
Resolution

The .csv file must be separated by comma not any other character such as semi colon. Here are the quickest steps to replace the semi column in the .csv file by comma:

  1. Open the .csv file using Vim text editor.
  2. Type the following 
    :%s/;/,/gc
  3. Type letter "a" to select all semi colons in the file to be replaced by commas.
  4. Press Enter to confirm.
  5. To save the changes, type the following: 
    :wq!
  6. Run the AMBA utility again after editing the .csv file.
Notes

The suggested solution can replace any character by any other character by putting the character that needs to be replaced after the first forward slash and the other character after the second slash.
