The fact that your error message contains \n, an end of line marker, leads me to believe that your problem lies in the editor you are using. Your .htaccess file should be a plain text file in ASCII uploaded to your forum directory. Additionally, it should not all be smashed together as in your post - notice how there are tabs separating each part of a line in the tutorial?
