well, you probably were lucky before: string.gsub returns multiple 
values so io.lines get a second argument that limits the length of what 
gets returned

local myfile = "myfile.txt"

for myline in io.lines(myfile,2) do
     logs.report("test",myline)
end

so you need:

   io.lines((string.gsub(name, '%.pdf$', '-systems.count')))

or

   local name = string.gsub(name, '%.pdf$', '-systems.count')

   io.lines(name)


or maybe better:

   io.lines(file.replacesuffix(name,'-systems.count'))
