My guess is he's absolutely right, and you are copy-and-pasting
instead of using source(), but you do not ever say, as far as I can
tell in the large number of mostly-repetitive messages.

Save your very long command into a text file, preferably with an
editor that does syntax highlighting and parenthesis matching, use
source(), and let us know if it works.
