Simple first order difference equation with Dynare 4.0.1

I am studying the use of Dynare. I have a model in which there are only backword looking variables. I encountered a problem but I found a useful answer in this forum (viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2248#p4407). I can run a program with a "dummy" forward looking variable as suggested by ales but I cannot run the program in the snapshot though I am using Dynare 4.0.1. Does any one know what is wrong ?

The error messages are the following:

Configuring Dynare ...
[mex] Generalized QZ.
[mex] Sylvester equation solution.
[mex] Kronecker products.
[mex] Sparse kronecker products.
[mex] Bytecode evaluation.

Hi, can you post your mod file ?
Best, Stéphane.

Hi, Stéphane
Sorry for late response,
Here's my mod file. Please let me know if there is something wrong in my file.
