Replace double quotes with single ones:

INSERT
INTO    MY.LOGFILE
        (id,severity,category,logdate,appendername,message,extrainfo)
VALUES  (
       'dee205e29ec34',
       'FATAL',
       'facade.uploader.model',
       '2013-06-11 17:16:31',
       'LOGDB',
       NULL,
       NULL
       )

In SQL, double quotes are used to mark identifiers, not string constants.
