Nothing wrong with it, should not throw an error. I have tested and it works ok.
But note, those variables are intra minute and so only available in on_trade which is an Elite function. If you have run a number of backtests you should have received an email inviting you to upgrade to Elite if you wish.
If you want that kind of data in on_minute you would access the bar or the daily values. See your other question in the forum.

The following code works for me, if you have elite and switch it to on_trade you will see that you start getting values...

    def on_start(self, md, order, service, account): 
        self.count = 0

#    def on_trade(self, event, md, order, service, account):
    def on_minute_bar(self, event, md, order, service, account, bar):
        self.count += 1
        print service.time_to_string(event.timestamp),md.L1.minute_askvol,md.L1.minute_bidvol,md.L1.minute_close,md.L1.minute_count,md.L1.minute_high,md.L1.minute_low,md.L1.minute_open,md.L1.minute_spread,md.L1.minute_start_timestamp,md.L1.minute_volume,md.L1.minute_vwap #
