The setting is wrong.  Parameters in org-agenda-custom-commands are  
identified by
position, and your file list is seen as an attempt to set options  
(variables)
for the command set.  You need nil there.

Can you identify a point in the documentation that made you assume you  
could write things a you did?

Thanks.
