xcrysden scripting commands are not supposed to be run from command
line, but instead loaded (read) from the script file. 

Say, you put your rotating command into a file named roatate5.xcrysden,
which could look as:

scripting::open --xyz  fcc1.xyz
scripting::rotate x 5

Then you execute xcrysden as:
xcrysden -s rotate5.xcrysden
