Lennart already pointed out a major problem, but here are some remarks 
about the unit file itself:

When you are writing a unit that is meant to be run during an early 
phase of boot (before basic.target), you need:
  DefaultDependencies=no
to avoid an ordering cycle.
And then you can add a sensible subset of the default dependencies manually:
  Conflicts=shutdown.target
  Before=shutdown.target

In oneshot units it often makes sense to use:
  RemainAfterExit=yes

It depends on whether you want to have the command re-run again or not 
when a subsequent request to start the unit comes (be it directly via 
systemctl start, or indirectly via requirement dependencies from other 
units).

There's no single-user.target. You probably meant sysinit.target.
