To give an example:

[root@charon ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 192.168.178.0/24 via 192.168.1.1 eth0
syntax error. you need a "dev" before eth0. which actually is useless to append anyway because the interface is already specified in the file name
default 192.168.178.200 dev eth0
syntax error. you miss a "via" before the IP of the gateway

Error: either "to" is duplicate, or "eth0" is a garbage.
explained by the syntax error from the first line in route-eth0

explained by the fact that your route-eth0 file doesn't contain any correct line
