mysqlslap not recognizing database schema

I'm running mysqlslap like this:

mysqlslap hhi --concurrency=20 --iterations=5 --query=queries.sql --delimiter=";" --create-schema=hhi -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -p

A query in queries.sql references a table called "orders", which for sure exists. However, when I run that command I get:

mysqlslap: Cannot run query SELECT orders.order_num, ship_billing, ship_date, po_num, customer_name, employees.FirstName,employees.LastName,rev_num,trans_date,orders.employee_num as ordempnum ERROR : Unknown table 'orders' in field list

Does that mean it's not actually looking at the right database?
