Opening a line with vimscript - autoindent ignored

using vim 7.2 huge on mint 10.0
I have a vimscript to handle code expansion from keywords.
Here is the relevant snippet
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
elseif wrd == "lv0"
exe "normal! bdwaargs = load.args(kws) ## dict,member='kwd',module='config'\<Esc>0wo"
exe "normal! acontent = load.view(args) ## '()' => string \<Esc>0w"
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
If this is executed, I get something like this:

args = load.args(kws) ## dict,member='kwd',module='config'
content = load.view(args) ## '()' => string

The second line is not indented.
`autoindent' is set. If I were to type the two lines of code, and were
I to hit <Esc> at the end of the first line and then
o
The alignment would be retained.
What am I doing wrong?
TIA
