It looks as if you have accidentally nuked the \csname primitive, e.g.,
by saying
	\def\csname something\endcsname{...} 
instead of
	\expandafter\def\csname something\endcsname{...}
I didn't see anything wrong with the extracts you posted, so perhaps it
has occurred earlier in the same file (or perhaps I missed it).
