[resolved] JSON parse errors on well-formed data

[DaveL]

I am using this JSON object which checked out as valid JSON on the JSONLint site.
{
"eventMode": "exit",
"eventInfo": {
"bundleHistoryId": "fca39967d82d427698f9425bb7e1ae96",

}
But when I try to process this in Talend I get this error :
Exception in component tExtractJSONFields_2

What can be causing this problem? Attached image showing the job details.

Seems like Talend doesn't like the '$' occurences as in:
"serverDatetime": {
"$date": 1368946148222.013
},"
If I take out the $ the parse error goes away.
