In addition to what others have said (check to make sure plustrace is granted), beware that this won't work in 8.1.5 and less with OPS$ (OS identified accounts) until 8.1.6 (its a bug). Also, if you alter your password in your session BEFORE you set autotrace on -- you'll see this error as well (same issue as with OPS$ accounts)
