Well, without seeing an example netlist, I don't know. You must be doing
something to the netlist, since it wouldn't have analysis statements within it,
nor would it have model references. It sounds as if you're trying to include a
section of a model file, but are specifying it incorrectly.

Note that files with the .scs suffix are interpreted as spectre syntax;
everything else is SPICE. You might also want to use IC5141 and
the +csfe command line option to spectre, or MMSIM60 where +csfe is on by
default (this is the new front end which parses SPICE more completely).
