Mas Create Field with Eclipse

Hello,

 

I am trying to mass create 160+ custom fields on a custom object in my Sandbox. I was able to edit the meta data using Eclipse, but nothing happens when I deploy or save the changes to the Sandbox server.  I don't get any error messages, but none of the fields get created.  Does anyone know why this is happening?  Thanks.
