Description

12/6/2015 -- 13:29:04 - <Error> - [ERRCODE: SC_ERR_INVALID_SIGNATURE(39)] - filemagic keyword arguments should be always enclosed in double quotes.  Invalid content keyword passed in this rule - ""picture" sid:5555555" 
12/6/2015 -- 13:29:04 - <Error> - [ERRCODE: SC_ERR_INVALID_SIGNATURE(39)] - error parsing signature "alert http any any -> any any (msg:"File extract all these files"; content:"cnn.com"; http_host; filemagic:"picture" sid:5555555; rev:1;)" from file http-host.rules at line 1
12/6/2015 -- 13:29:04 - <Warning> - [ERRCODE: SC_ERR_NO_RULES(42)] - No rules loaded from http-host.rules

The err msg should be regarding the missing semicolon not double quotes.

How about something like this:

[3002] 19/9/2016 -- 10:16:41 - (detect-parse.c:614) <Error> (SigParseOptions) -- [ERRCODE: SC_ERR_INVALID_SIGNATURE(39)] - bad option value formatting (possible missing semicolon) for keyword filemagic: '"picture" sid:5555555'

I don't think we can be 100% positive that a missing semicolon is the issue. What we can do is, for any option value that starts with a double quote, ensure that it ends with a double quote exclusive of white space. This would be done at the high level option parsing, not at individual options.
