It will probably be necessary to use the "cd" command on the PyMOL command line to change to the appropriate directory containing the .pml file. Or you can specify the full path from the current directory to the .pml file after the @. You can find out PyMOL's current working directory with the "pwd" command (pressinf <Escape> to toggle between the graphics view and the text output to see the result).
