Mayabatch seems unable to read any .ma files?

It seems mayabatch is unable to open any of my .ma files even though the files work fine.

Could this have anything to do with plugin dependencies or node dependencies or something?
I know for a fact the .ma files are not corrupt so I have no idea why mayabatch just errors on:

C:/Users/renderservice/AppData/Local/Temp/tmpA44C.tmp line 8: Error reading file.
