ag.algebraic geometry - Flatness of modules via Tor

As far as I understand, this is false. Here is an example (familiar to D-module people):
A=k[x,y]; M=k[a,b] on which x (resp. y) acts as fracdda (resp. fracddb).
Since the action of both x and y is locally nilpotent, M is supported at the origin of
Spec(A). Therefore, the only non-zero Tor's of the kind you consider are Tori(M,k), where both x and y act on k by zero. These Tor's are easy to compute (they amount to computing de Rham cohomology of affine plane with coordinates a and b), and they are non-zero precisely when i=2. (Essentially, the calculation repeats the proof of Kashiwara's Lemma.)
