?? With Emacs 23.1, the version should be 206 in a newly created .desktop.
I'd like to know what happens when you do the following
- create an empty directory and cd to it
- set HOME to that directory
- create a test file (let's call it test.txt) with a couple lines
- then
emacs -Q test.txt
M-x desktop-save <RET> <RET> ; to create a new desktop file
C-x C-c
followed by
emacs -Q -f desktop-load

You shouldn't use `desktop-save' and `desktop-read' in you ~/.emacs, just
(desktop-save-mode 1)
is enough.

This is not related to desktop. Emacs is complaining about a problem
with the Local variables section in the file, i.e., the
Local Variables:
one-variable: whatever
another-variable: blah blah
End:
section near the end of the file.
Just out of curiosity: it is possible you're using CRLF files in a
context that does not expect them, or that some of the files have
mixed LF and CRLF line endings?
