Dear Jacob and Andreas, The PyMOL launching procedure occurs IMO in three steps: 1) Start main PyMOL window and command processor 2) Start floating Tk window 3) Start plugins (it should be similar when you use PyMOL in batch mode).
Thus, it may occur that commands from your .pml scripts are executed while the rtools plugin has not been initialized yet. A simple solution would be to issue a delay of 2-5 sec at the start of the script to make sure rtools is up and running. You could do this using: time.sleep(5) This is actually pure Python, but it works from the PyMOL cmd line as well.
