This can mean a lot of things, IE tends to be too friendly
sometimes.

Quote the filename, although it most likley wont be the problem.

   Conent-Type: attachment; filename="product.xls"

I might wage this is the problem, it needs to be a valid HTTP date,
something like this will do the job:

  header('Expires: ' . date('r', 0);
