The data like that will no doubt fail depending on the file contents. I would
instead suggest you tell curl to get the contents off the file. Like this:

curl http://pastie.caboo.se/pastes/create -H 'Expect:' -F
'paste[parser]=plaintext' -F "paste[body]=<filename" -F
'paste[authorization]=burger' -s -L -o /dev/null -w '%{url_effective}'

... where 'filename' is ~/Desktop/curly.txt or suitable.
