The translation of an ACE text into OWL proceeds in two steps: APE translates the ACE text into a DRS and then calls drs_to_owlswrl that translates the DRS into OWL/SWRL. The second steps fails for your input with the reported error messages. 

I am sure that Kaarel Kaljurand – the author of drs_to_owlswrl – has more to say to this.
