Autoloading Notation Definitions

I can automatically load the Utilities`Notations` package by
inserting the line, Get["Utilities`Notation`"], in a init.m
file under the Autoload directory.

In the line which follows, I then defined the abs symbol as
follows

Notation[|x_| \[DoubleLongRightArrow] Abs[x_]] .

The notation package loads okay.  

But I get the error "Syntax::tsntxi: |-5| is incomplete;
more input is needed" when I try to enter |-5|.

I can easily define another Notation function for abs during
the session but I want my Notations to be defined
automatically at startup.  How do I accomplish this?

Thanks,
Lawrence
