Describe the bug Config fails to read the syntax of the config file and doesn't work properly. Even though I copy the exact config syntaxing and all the rest of it, the default config file provided in /etc/gromit-mpx is the issue, it doesn't know what the config parse should be when reading the defaults.

In a custom config I've tried the following; and Gromit-MPX fails to parse anything. The problem lies with the parsing, Gromit-MPX clearly needs to have it's syntax parsing checked and rebuilt if it can't read it's own syntax's for the config file because it's bugged if it's unable to read the default config file or a custom config file. I would just remake the syntax it reads for the file in a more easily readable format that it understands for typical config files. The documentation around it's details of the config file and syntaxes for this tool is really poorly underdocumented, and it's mostly guess work as to WHAT actually works and what doesn't, and the errors it produces aren't exactly helpful either, it can't even point out what lines are wrong and failing to parse at, and giving vague and impossible errors that don't mean anything or give any description of what the errors even means.

What does that message even suppose to mean to someone who's trying to configure it? This is where I would be considering putting helpful information about it, a support link or mention of something to put you in the right directly, this is just the example of what I mean about poor documentation here. Link to the Wiki page that details this information.
