That's almost certainly not going to work as planned.  Time/date data 
and $1 notation for extended using columns don't mix.  If it ever 
appears to work, that's a fluke.

I'm reasonably sure you get the same basic error in every other context 
-- you just don't see it.

For more precise help, you'll have to actually _show_ us that command 
script (or a sufficient subset reproducing the problem).
