Have you tried running this with a very, very basic script in the .sql file? Maybe something that just inserts one row or creates an arbitrary table? Something that is very easy to verify? Essentially, this code is like hard coding the sql, except you're reading it from a file. If you can get it to work with a very simple file, then I would say that there is likely something wrong with the file structure itself.
