At a guess, either you have not got this line at the top of the config:

WINE REGISTRY Version 2

or you didn't notice that when ~/.winerc became ~/.wine/config, all
terms are quoted, like so:

[Drive C]
"Path" = "/gp/fault"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "MS-DOS"
"Filesystem" = "win95"


ICBW, of course.
