And there's the error. Let me quote resolvconf.conf(5)

DESCRIPTION
      resolvconf.conf is the configuration file for resolvconf(8).  The
      resolvconf.conf file is a shell script that is sourced by 
resolvconf(8),
      meaning that resolvconf.conf must contain valid shell commands. 
Listed
      below are the standard resolvconf.conf variables that may be set. 
If the
      values contain whitespace, wildcards or other special shell 
characters,
      ensure they are quoted and escaped correctly.  See the replace 
variable
      for an example on quoting.

So your line needs to read
name_servers="10.0.1.81 208.67.222.123 208.67.220.123 185.228.168.10 
185.228.169.11"
