So you finally have:

object {
  cylinder { }
  translate
  cylinder { }
  translate
  ...
}

This makes no sense, as far as I know. Try calling it as an union (instead 
of object) and moving the translate block inside the cylinder braces. So 
you have:

union {
  cylinder {
    translate
  }
  cylinder {
    translate
  }
  ...
}
