Genfromtxt error - Got n columns instead of m

I am trying to import data using numpy's genfromtxt with header names and non-homogeneous data types. Every time I run the program I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    raise ValueError(errmsg)
ValueError: Some errors were detected !
    Line #8 (got 6 columns instead of 1)
    Line #9 (got 6 columns instead of 1)
    Line #10 (got 6 columns instead of 1)
    Line #11 (got 6 columns instead of 1)
    Line #12 (got 6 columns instead of 1)

I have already gone through this question but it didn't solve my problem. It is a very simple problem, but I can't figure out what is wrong. The code and data is included:

Code

import numpy as np
data = np.genfromtxt('Data.dat', comments='#', delimiter='\t', names=True, dtype=None).transpose()
print data
