    The Transform.Scale is the dummy text that AE automatically adds to a new scale expression. 

    Delete that section, it might fix it.

    Whenever you add an expression AE adds some dummy starter text to the property (it has to do this otherwise the expression would immediately be removed the moment you clicked outside of the text field).

    By itself that dummy text won't cause an error but if you leave it there while adding your own code it will cause a problem.

    There is no reason why there should be an extra "transform.scale" after you've declared the variables. This makes no sense. Rather than blindly following tutorials you may want to start by actually reading the online help on expression basics to avoid such unnecessary issues.

    Thanks for your help and your unecessary patronization. I'm not trying to have a thorough understanding of After Effects at this stage, just trying to get one quick effect and I'm out.

      I agree.  That is the most condesending answer.  Either answer the question or don't.  Stop making people feel bad for try to learning something.

      ALSO, Adobe automatically adds the transform.scale using the pickwip.  So it's not your fault.
