We will have to assume that you did a "yank" and "put" in 'vi' for
this, otherwise inspection of this is meaningless.  If you did a screen
cut, then I would particularly suggest that you go into 'vi' and look
for hidden characters.  Otherwise, it might prove instructive to look
at the two lines before the word "options".

The syntax errors suggest unbalanced braces causing an early close
after the allow-transfer{}; but that is not what we see, above.
