Check /etc/vimrc and other default setup files.

The infile commands are considered by some to be a security issue
so they may be disabled by default.   It may be that you have to 
enable it for the system or for yourself.   There is a strict order
of places that vi/vim checks including the environment.

My memory is that a ~/.vimrc file needs to reenable embedded commands.
Try :help modeline
If 'modeline' is off or 'modelines' is 0 no lines are checked.
