After a couple of hours stumbling with this, I decided to share what I've found, though it's a very old post.

To make it work properly, i had to do the following:

• hbmddl set to create or create-drop
• file.sql in classpath root; in my case, i just put it in resources folder, i'm using maven.
• each sql command in one line
• each file.sql must have a blank line at the beggining of the file ==> don't know the reason for this one, but if i don't insert that blank line, at the time of execution the servers tells me there's a syntax error near the first character.

Hope that helps.
