[SOLVED] can't configure fstab to mount external ntfs harddrive

I've been trying to figure out how to mount my external harddrive using fstab but I can not figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I keep getting this error when I run mount -a from terminal

[mntent]: line 11 in /etc/fstab is bad

and here is my fstab

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
devpts                 /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
shm                    /dev/shm      tmpfs     nodev,nosuid        0      0

UUID=cceafd3a-f9bc-4676-8b82-e8c80cfa2cbf swap swap defaults 0 0
UUID=ec3441d4-81df-4c8f-8619-53a5dda72ee3 /home ext4 defaults 0 1
UUID="2C68B55168B51A92" /media/storage ntfs-3g defaults o o

The last line is the line 11 that is causing trouble. Does anyone here know what the problem is? Thanks for the help.

Are the last characters in that line o's? They should be zeros.
