Notice the error message includes the "#Device name.. Leave as is." as
part of the file name....

I believe tinc.conf can only have full-line comments; as you have it
here, tinc is including the "comment" in the file name it's using.

[The tinc.conf man page says: "This file consists of comments (lines
started with a #) or assignments...." ]
