Maybe I misunderstand what you're trying to do, but try this instead:

table <blockIP> persist file "/path/to/file"
block in quick from <blockIP> to any

I'm assuming the file contains a list of IP addresses, one per line,
that you want to block.

BTW, there are generally better options for handling bruteforce
traffic.  What kind of bruteforce traffic are you trying to stop?
