The log output should've given you a hint: you can't add comments
halfway on a line. Only lines which start directly with a # are
considered comments (this is mentioned in the manpage and manual).
So remove the comments or put them on their own lines, and don't forget
to remove any trailing spaces (because unfortunately in 1.0.2 tinc
doesn't strip them).
