I wonder if the SIMH command parser gets confused by the hyphen in the file name.  The message makes it look like it's mistaking -v for a switch, so it's parsing it as if it were:

sim> att tq -f ansi -v ms vmst

which would of course be a problem.  Try removing the - or replacing it by an underscore.
