LoTW returns "invalid adif file header"

If I use the menu /QSL/LoTW/Import/Download and process data from LoTW website the following message occurs:
"Something is wrong because LoTW server returned invalid adif file header. Yout LoTW username/password could be wrong or LoTW server is down.
Do you want to show the file?"
My access credentials are definitely right and the LoTW server isn't down.
But if I check the returned file from LoTW, I see that this isn't an ADIF file.
So the message "invalid adif file header" seems to be right, because of the non-ADIF-file.
Are there any suggestions to solve my problem?

Before the error message

Before the error message occurs I've chose the menu QSL/LoTW/Import/Download and process data from LoTW website.
After this the downloaded data are saved under ~/.config/cqrlog/lotw/[timestamp].adi

But the saved data are not really in adi format but in html.
If I check the html-content in a bowser a lotw login page occurs.
My access credentials to lotw are correctly saved in CQRLOG... I'm not unterstand this misbehaviour...

This is the content of the "adi" file:

ARRL's Logbook of the World

jQuery( document ).tooltip();

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
dlgLOTW.ready();
});
