try a space like this:
(kbd "C-c ,")


If that fixes it try using a function I previously posted that eliminates the 
errors
from the process of defining keys.

(defun insert-key-notation ()
  "inject a complete \(kbd \"sequence\"\) with key notation for a key sequence 
given by prompt"
  (interactive)
  (insert "(kbd \"")
  (insert (format-kbd-macro (read-key-sequence "Key? " nil t)))
  (insert "\")"))

it will define the kbd sexp for you after it prompts you for the key sequence.
