First time Wine--config problems

Okay, I'm not a programmer, but I'm not new to Unix either--used it years
and years ago in college before Win 3.1 came out. So I'm pretty rusty, but
it IS coming back....
Here's my problem.
I'm using Wine-20010510 on SuSE Linux 7.1. Wine seemed to install fine, but
every time I try to run it, it says the c:\windows and c:\windows\system
directories are invalid. I've double- and triple-checked my ~/.wine/config
file and compared it to /etc/fstab, and I'm pointing all the drives to their
appropriate mount points; ie
/etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 /windows/c
/dev/hda2 /windows/d
/dev/hda3 /windows/e
~/.wine/config
[Drive C]
Path=/windows/c
Type=hd
Label=MS-DOS
Filesystem=win95
etc. etc., same for the other windoze partitions.
But when I run winecheck, it keeps saying no path has been specified in the
config file. The drives are mounted--I can access them from the linux
command prompt just fine, and can see the /windows/c/windows and
/windows/c/windows/system directories just fine, but wine isn't seeing them.
I've looked at the FAQ's and HOW-TO's on winehq.com, and I appear to have
everything set correctly in the config file. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.
TIA,
