There are several problems with both the .tex file and the .csv file. Here are the ones I noticed.

1. inscritos.csv has 12 commas in its first line -- the labels, but most of the entries have 13 commas per line; hence, one of the columns of the table does not have a label, and this causes problems.
2. inscritos.csv uses characters like \ and _ which are interpreted in a special way by TeX/LaTeX without escaping them. For example, there are many instances of things such as "Procura projecto/disserta\xc3\xa7\xc3\xa3o de mestrado". This will return errors since LaTeX is interpreting \xc \xa, etc., as names of LaTeX commands which do not exist. You may need to change each "\" in the file to "{\textbackslash}" or similar.
3. cracha-exemplo.tex uses a \begin{letter} and \end{letter} environment, but the document class does not define any such thing. (The example from the csvtools documentation is obviously designed for use with a letter-based document class, as it mentions in a footnote.)
4. You cannot use the command \insertfiliacao-empresa -- command names cannot have hyphens in them like this. If you want "filiacao-empresa" as the name of one of your fields, you need to use \insertbyname{filiacao-empresa} instead, as explained on page 3 of the csvtools documentation.

There may be other problems too. Those are just the ones I noticed. I don't really understand what's going on with the minipage, for example; the minipage seems to be the same size as the actual page!
