I just checked the header in my /etc/fstab and as it looks it MUST be a new 
line. Here is the line:

# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.12 2003/03/11 
02:50:53 azarah Exp $

You see, my KMail broke it exactly at that position, so "02:50:53" is now 
interpreted as the device, "azarah" as mountpoint "Exp" is the type of 
filesystem and "$" is mount option.

So, I think, Robert has to check his fstab more carefully...
Btw, is it possible that you edited it with nano and forgot the "-w" switch?
