I have:

(setq make-backup-files         t ;backup my files
       backup-by-copying         t ;don't clobber symlinks
       delete-old-versions       t
       kept-new-versions         6
       kept-old-versions         2
       version-control           t ;use versioned backups
       vc-make-backup-files      t ;make backups for cvs projects
       vc-follow-symlinks        t)
(setq backup-directory-alist    '(("." . "~/.emacs.d/ 
Sicherungen"))) ;don't litter

And it works! Because the last line was taken off the multi-line  
statement.
