This looks as if there's something strange in stiltnerphihr16.scl, where
stiltnerphihr16.scl probably contains a ratio. Make sure, the ratios don't have
any spaces, i.e. "2/3" is fine, "3 / 4" is not.

I think, you this is based on an outdated version of tunetof, the latest one
(though already 3 years old) doesn't have expr in it anymore. You can get it
here:
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/abstractions/footils/tunetof/

I don't remember anymore if the latest version deals correctly with non-octave
tunings, it may not. What exactly did you change here?

Ciao
