I am not sure if could cause a "syntax error", but shouldn't swap
partitions be formatted as "swap", rather than ext4 ?

I would write this line as:

root-vg-swapfs swap     1G     swap  sw


If this is not the problem I suggest:

1) make a copy of the setup-storage script to your own account and run
it as a non-privileged user (thus avoiding any damage to disks). It will
not be able to format any disks, but syntax errors should be shown.
2) remove lines from the input file until the syntax error message
disappears. The line you removed last is the problematic one.

Hoping this helps,
