I am sorry, I read it wrong; you are indeed giving the full path. Something I was thinking is that it could be related to what happens, in addition to what others have commented is:
1) The error is "Syntax error" not "File not found", so maybe the quotes arround the path would work. 2) The file is in /media/... Does it work with other files in other directories? With .sage files? 3) Can you attach a file in ~/.sage? Well, I hope this is fixed. Or just changing the extension, as Marshal suggested, should work. This would explain the Syntax Error. -Adrian.
