Hmm. I thought it would change the focus until the focus was changed again. If not, that would explain things. I did try to put the USE command again in front of the SHRINKFILE command, but got the same errors.

I am trying to change the recovery mode to SIMPLE and shrink the log file for every DB (not system DBs) in a script. In the script (below) I try to change the DB focus using the USE command, but evidently it is not working as I thought, because I get errors that say the log file can not be found in the master.
