I'm surprised that this ever worked.  Even just opening it from Lua 
gives the same error:

$ lua formABeschrKaesten.lua
lua: formABeschrKaesten.lua:8: invalid escape sequence near '\A'

The problem is that '\A' is an escape sequence in Lua, see
http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#3.1

If you want to embed the backslash in your text object, you need to 
write a double backslash: \\

So replace all \A by \\A and it should work again.
