Well, from the sounds of it, SA is having trouble with your describe 
command. However, to be absolutely sure that line is the problem (and not 
an unterminated regex elsewhere) comment out the describe line with a # and 
re-run spamassassin --lint.

        body LOCAL_DEMONSTRATION_RULE  /test/
        score LOCAL_DEMONSTRATION_RULE  5.0
        #describe LOCAL_DEMONSTRATION_RULE My test rule
If the error goes away, look for problems on the describe line.. are you 
sure describe is spelled right? (I assume it is, but I have no way of 
knowing if your mailclient corrected the spelling for you)

Also be sure to check your end-of-line formats.. if you created the file 
with windows notepad, you'll have to convert the EOL format before using it 
on a unix machine.
