Inconsistent Indentation

Question

In running the sass watch operator, I am receiving the following error:
error sass.css (Line 39: Inconsistent indentation: 2 spaces were used for indentation. but the rest of the document was indented using 8 spaces.)
Change detected to: scss.css
My code contains the following:

I searched everywhere online to try and figure this out with no avail. Clueless on what to do do next.
Thanks.

Thanks Steven, 
I realized what I did. I wrote the code for the watcher incorrectly. I typed in the following (orginally):
treehouse:~/workspace$ sass --watch scss.css
Instead, it should have been:
treehouse:~/workspace$ sass --watch scss:css
What a difference a period and a colon can make.
