This problem occurs generally because there is a problem in the geo 
definition. The geo file opens fine wityh Gmsh, but GetDP as problem with it.

I tried your formulation with the simple geo file "cube.geo" and it works 
fine. (I include it at the end of my reply)

You should therefore try to find the problem in your geometry file.
You could also rewrite your file a simpler way to avoid any mistake :  your 
geometry is basically a H surface extruded in the y direction.
You can write something like:
	
/* Points necessarry to describe the H surface (12 at least), in the (x,z) 
plan */
	Point(1) = ...
	...

/* Definition of the H surface*/
	Line Loop(1) = {1,2,3,....,12};
	Plane Surface(1) ={1};
/* Extrusion*/
	Extrude Surface{1,{0,the_thickness_of_the_H,0}};;

/*eventually you define physical surfaces*/


SMALL TRICK:
After the extrusion you won't know the identification number for the surfaces 
where you want to apply boundary conditions.
You can use Gmsh to help you:
Open the geometry file and then point the mouse on the surfaces you would like 
to know: the identification number of the surface appears at the bottom of 
the window, for example:
	surface 18 {19,20,21,22}

Good luck!
