The before the base64 encoded data should be: -----BEGIN PKCS7----- and the line the base64 encoded stuff: -----END PKCS7----- make sure this is *exactly* what is there, i.e. make sure there are 5 -'s in there. That error message means it doesn't like the end line. This is assuming what you've got is base64 encoded data if it looks like binary then add the -inform DER switch to the command.
