I can see two problems with this:
- If the file has less than 30 lines the 1,30 range will fail.
- Sometimes you have a space between "By" and the colon,
sometimes not. Maybe matching any white space there would be good,
say
/Modified By\s*:.*

Also, the command could be simpler:
autocmd BufWritePre,FileWritePre *.sv exe '1,30g/Modified By\s*:.*/s//
Modified By: ' . $LOGNAME

Note the single quotes, to avoid having to double the backslash.
Another thing, it's a good idea to put a set of auto commands like
this in a group; see :h augroup.
