update-grub fails due to syntax error

Question

When I run the command "Sudo update-grub" following is the output:

kamil@kamil-MG-63MI-7109:~$ sudo update-grub

No command 'uname-' found, did you mean:

The file contents etc/default/grub is this:

the contents of Grub.d are here http://ubuntuone.com/0EXS51BD2bOE5gFC2FdLnI

I don't know how this happened but this is where I am stuck.

I copied the contents below from a Kubuntu 11.10 install of mine and pasted it in the etc/default/grub

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

The output when running update-grub:
