For starters, I believe you need to seperate the "add" and "-net", but
that may have just been a typo in your e-mail.  Also, when I try this
on my system it seems to want a netmask.  Try:

  route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0

It seems like at some point it was valid to leave off the netmask and
it would infer the netmask based on the interface's default, but I may
be mistaken.  It certainly seems to require it now.
