Trying to help you I ran a macro from the plugins>macros>run menu while recording, and it wrote "runMacro(<macrofile>)" instead of "runMacroFile(<macrofile>, <args>)".

Maybe there are two methods and you are calling a different one than the menu.

If your macro is not so long, it might help if you paste it in your next email, so we can run it by ourselves :)
