The "-#" prompt in psql means you are in line continuation mode. The \out meta-command should be issued while sitting at an initial prompt "=#".
Being in line-continuation mode means you are typing something else above it that doesn't constitute a full command - and you are still not showing us what that is. This is the reason I asked for basically a self-contained example.
