Bulk upsert failing -- Bulk API

I'm trying to do a bulk upsert on a Contact object.  Here's the JobInfo XML I am trying to use:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jobInfo xmlns="http://www.force.com/2009/06/asyncapi/dataload">
  <operation>upsert</operation>
  <object>Contact</object>
  <contentType>CSV</contentType>
  <externalIdFieldName>External_ID__c</externalIdFieldName>
</jobInfo>

 

When I attempt to create the job I get the error: "Unable to parse Job".  This XML (without the externalIdFieldName) does work for an update operation.  What am I doing wrong here?

 

Thanks,

Steve

The element order is important, see this example
