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.
