this depends on using xkeyval and should be \def instead of \edef

linecolor depends on using the old pstricks mechanism of
creating optional parameter

\def\psset at linecolor#1{\pst at getcolor{#1}\pslinecolor}
\psset at linecolor{black}

with xkeyval (pst-xkey) you always use

\psset[<family>]{name=lineA}, or \passet{name=lineA}

and \psset at pstTxtBx@name for using the value
