Greg,

Your current documentation examples for customs scripts in pgbench
includes the variable :scale, i.e.:

\set nbranches :scale
\set ntellers 10 * :scale
\set naccounts 100000 * :scale

However, in the documentation the variable :scale is never set,
resulting in it defaulting to 1.  The example script needs to start with:

\set scale 10

Look at table F-15 "pgbench benchmarking options", specifically the 
section for "-s scale_factor".  That describes how the scale is set for 
the internal tests, and that you need to set it manually using "-s 
<scale>" for custom scripts run using "-f <script>".  My guess is that 
covers the situation you ran into here.
