As has already been pointed out, the problem is that the single
quote should be exactly a plain single quote, not a left quote
or right quote. There was a recent discussion on the mailing list
related to these problems with copy/paste from the manual in its
different incarnations (HTML/PDF).

First of all, note that \mark is handled at the score level, so
you can only use it to print things above or below the full system,
not above/below each stave. So, if you want to printed below the
system, just set the 'direction' property:
\override Score.RehearsalMard #'direction = #DOWN
