I'm trying to find a tool that will analyze output from an i5/OS environment - running WAS 6.1 Express with JVM 1.5

I've turned on the verbose gc for the application server and able to view a "stop the world" garbage collection.

When I try to open the native_stdout.log with PMAT, I get this error:
Cannot find any verbose garbage collection log

I'm initiating PMAT with this string on my desktop PC (while in the directory containing the tool):
java -XMX500m -jar ga36.jar

Why doesn't PMAT see my .log file as a verbose garbage collection log?
Here are a few lines from that file:
GC 20: starting collection, reason stop the world collection.
GC 20: starting collection, reason stop the world collection.
GC 19: live objects 2045671; collected objects 526101; collected(KB) 149995.
GC 19: queued for finalization 0; total soft references 4498; cleared soft references 0.
