Try removing the backslashes.
My /e/n/interfaces:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.2.4
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.2.255
        gateway 192.168.2.1
        network 192.168.254.0
Removing the backslashes worked.  After reading the manual for 
interfaces(5), I was unclear about what constituted a line.  The syntax 
of the interfaces file if very similar to the arguments of ifconfig(8), 
so I thought all the options needed to be on one line.

Thanks for the quick response.
