a) If PC_Anatg is in /usr/local/etc/burp/clientconfdir on the server, it
shouldn't have all the configuration options that are supposed to be on the
actual client. It should only contain these lines out of the ones that it
has:

password = backup05
keep = 2
working_dir_recovery_method = use
ssl_peer_cn = grkeclient

b) You have got Windows line endings in PC_Anatg. That probably isn't helping,
but if you are on burp-1.1.22 it probably doesn't matter because it will be
stripping the whitespace from the end of the lines anyway. To fix it, open
it with vi and type:
:set ff=unix
:wq
