Thanks Nick. Hwever with the following minimal template, from the OP, I 
still get the error:

;; org-capture settings.
(setq org-capture-templates
`(("t" "test" entry
(file+headline "~/file.org"
,(format "%s"
(format-time-string "%m")))
,(format "** %s \n*** %s-%s \n**** [%s-%s-%s %s %s:%s] "
(format-time-string "%d")
(format-time-string "%Y")
(format-time-string "%A")
(format-time-string "%Y")
(format-time-string "%m")
(format-time-string "%d")
(format-time-string "%a")
(format-time-string "%H")
(format-time-string "%M"))
)))
