I just did a quick wget for your file.  I get similar errors in 
different places, so you must have edited the file since posting your 
message.

These errors occur immediately before where you've tried to use two 
\partial commands to create the split bar in bar 7.

The docs warn against this -- 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Displaying-rhythms#index-partial-measure

"The \partial command is intended to be used only at the beginning of a 
piece. If you use it after the beginning, some odd warnings may occur. "

It's better to simply write a normal bar, with a double barline drawn 
down the middle.
