>From the Help system:
  If load is invoked using the functional form

          load ("-text", "file.txt", "a")

     then the OPTIONS, FILE, and variable name arguments (V1, ...) must
     be specified as character strings.

What you have appears to be the function form.  Perhaps it isn't parsed 
the same when it is read from a file instead of from the terminal.  Try 
doing it exactly like the example line and see what happens.
