Dear Mohammed, such an issue can happen, yes. The reason is that command line parameters are not (cannot be) automatically communicated to the externalization child processes.
There are different approaches to solve the issue: issue the externalization command manually (what you did), add your command line options for save-size and -mem-max to externalization option "system call" or, which is probably the simplest way, by writing the memory options once and for all times into a configuration file. The two approaches are described in the pgfplots manual and (probably in more detail) in the PGF CVS documentation. Best regards Christian PS I cc'ed the answer to the mailing list since it may be of general interest.
