Oops! I just discovered what went wrong. I had temporarily commented-out the line

\usepackage[scr=bickham,scrscaled=1.05,bb=pazo,bbscaled=1.025,frak=euler,frakscaled=1.06]{mathalfa}

Hence,  <-> \mathalfa at scrscaled  bickham-s}{} a few more lines down did not make sense.

Everything seems to be working now. Problem solved!
