In /etc/asus_fanmode.conf comment out line with fan_mode parameter: 

-fan_mode = /sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/fan_boost_mode
+#fan_mode = /sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/fan_boost_mode

Latest version's default configuration file have this line commented out with explanation: link

So... I kept getting the error for a while (on latest git) and then figured out something. I was doing a makepkg and then installing via pacman. I decided to remove the pkg, delete everything and clone the repo again and install via make install. It works now.

You could do what I recommended, it would work the same. AFAIK pacman doesn't overwrite configuration files if they already exist.
