Have you read the output produced by lilypond:
Warnung: Eigenschafts-Typprüfung für »line-position« (backend-type?) kann 
nicht gefunden werden.  vielleicht ein Tippfehler?

And indeed, you forgot the final "s" in line-position*s*...

BTW, your example shows a nasty bug with bar lines: They are drawn centered 
around 0, so if the staff lines are placed asymmetric, the bar line is off..

Cheers,
