i assume you mistyped that message a little, as there's no end " for one thing. but stick a newline at the end of file file, and you should be fine.

You do not say what program is giving you the error message. Some editors will give you that message when the text does not end with an enter (newline). So put some enters after
/dev/hdc3 /mnt/win ntfs ro,gid=100,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15 1 0
and see if the error will go away.

BTW, in my experience, a number of GNU/Linux utils like to see a newline at the end of a text/config/whatever file. GCC will even nag you when you compile a C or C++ file that doesn't have a newline at the end.
