The problem (unless there is a typo) is that you are using the wrong
command line switch.
-s (lowercase) will execute vim commands as if you typed them from
normal mode. For example, a script to execute with -s would look like
this:
jjjjllldawkgqap
You probably meant to use -S (uppercase), which will perform at
startup the equivalent of the :source command.
See :help -s and :help -S and note the subtle difference.
Same with :help :source, and see the difference with :source! (with
the '!').
