Might it simply be that the address already exists?
If you don't NEED the extra interface names (ethX:Y names are deprecated
these days), try the following /e/n/i
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
post-up ip addr add 192.168.0.100/24 dev eth0
post-up ip addr add 192.168.0.101/24 dev eth0
pre-down ip addr del 192.168.0.100/24 dev eth0
pre-down ip addr del 192.168.0.101/24 dev eth0
or, thanks to http://wertarbyte.de/debian/ifupdown/addresses:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
addresses 192.168.0.100/24 192.168.0.101/24

Hmm. I'm NOT the entity to whom this message was addressed. Sorry.
