There seems to be a formatting problem in your bamt.conf file.
YAML is picky. The specific complaint about your file is:
Stream does not end with newline character on line 0
here is my config file.
# Big A Miner Thing configuration
#etc/bamt/bamt.conf
#
# You may be seeing this because you just booted up a new
# BAMT system. To start mining:
#
# 1. Adjust values in this file to your liking
# 2. Save
# 3. Add your pool URL(s) to the file specified per GPU
# (if you click File, Open, the default 'pools' file should be right there)
# 4. Either open root shell and type '/etc/init.d/mine restart', or power off and on.
#
# From then on, this rig will auto mine at power on, no need
# to touch it again.
#
# To make this file quit opening every time you boot up,
# remove the line 'show_config_at_boot: 1' below.
#
# Note: This is a YAML file. Indentation is significant.
