Your geometry contains overlapping/duplicate vertices/surfaces.

You can remove them automatically by adding this at the end of your .geo 
file.

Geometry.Tolerance = 1.e-5;
Coherence;


PS: using geometrical lines/surfaces to describe your model seems like 
overkill. Why not just load a surface mesh?
