Zainsurbani script error

I apologize for my potential repost, but I can't seem to find an answer on this one that works.

I am trying to complete the Hassour Zainsurbani quest from Caius. Went to Ald'Ruhn and Mr. Z wasn't in the tavern. Rested in case he showed up, nope. Can't see him stuck in the wall, tried RA in the console, didn't work. Tried EnablePlayerControls and then PlaceAtPC "Hassour Zainsurbani", 1, 10, 1 commands--did this numerous ways, with and without EnPlCo, and only got a Script SysWindow CompileAndRun Item Hassour Zainsurbani was not found on line 1 Compiled Script Not Saved! error, every time and no matter what I tried.

What does that error mean?

I'd done the Get Stuff Back from the Wastrel quest before all this. So I reloaded from Balmora and went straight into the Mr. Z quest this time, wondering if the wastrel quest had messed up a trigger or something. Didn't seem to help.

Running Windows2k on a powerful machine; GOTY edition of Morrowind; both expansions installed (content not really accessed yet, I'm level 5), and *no* mods installed, not even "official" ones on Bethesda's site. There don't seem to be too many bugs so far, so this problem is very annoying...and kind of crucial to finishing the game

Anyone able to help? Thanks so much in advance!

Are you looking in the right place of the tavern?

I'm pretty sure I'm looking in the right place. It's the right inn. Found his room, which had two books in it (just not him). They talk about a "back room under the bar," which has some tables with flagons on it. He's not there either, or anywhere on that bottom floor. Is there another place in the building? Thought I'd scoured it pretty good.

go to the top of the inn where the bar is, to the right there is a staircase going down to a middle floor. he's there on the far side of the room. He's a dunmer

Does the room have only one Bosmer in it?

If you've done any Rat in the Pot Thieves Guild quest, he is in the same room (different inn obviously) as Aengoth the Jeweller.
