The second argument to load() should be 'modopts.js' there (not modopts.ini). See other modopts examples in exec/*.js.

Also, you could get a specific value from your 'mysection' (rather than the entire section as an object), like so:

  var stuff = load({}, 'modopts.js', 'mysection', 'something');
