i have to repeat myself, the volmap ils command obviously takes a different
sequence of arguments. the first argument is a molecule id and not a selection.
here is volmap commandline has it is constructed by the ILS plugin:

volmap ils $molid $minmax -cutoff $cutoff -res $res -subres $subres
-orient $orient \
 -alignsel $asel -maxenergy $maxen -T $T -o $dxfile"

as you can see this is different from what you are using
and consistent with the error message that you are getting.
