Here you are telling minivend to use the products.asc text file

Here you tell it to use mysql
> Database products DELIMITER TAB
And here you tell it that the products db is a tab delimited file
which would seem to tip the weight of decision making to products.asc
Delete the lines suggesting products.asc to be the correct choice.
