Two things.
1. Are you calling the save_configuration() method after making the call to set_external_class_file_name()? iControl calls are not automatically persisted to disk (bigip.conf bigip_base.conf) until you make a call to the save_configuration() call. We did this for performance reasons for users that were batching up multiple calls together.
2. Assuming that's the case and the load_configuration() call is failing, I'd suggest you ssh to the console and issue a "b load" command as that's essentially what the load_configuration() method is doing. You should see any error output on the console. Also, it might not hurt to look in the /var/log/ltm file for any extra errors that occured.
Hope this helps...
