No.  I assume you first did

with(numtheory).  I then get

 seq(add(t,t=factorset(n)),n=1..1000);
0, 2, 3, 2, 5, 5, 7, ..., 501, 40, 7

You shouldn't have to delay them; add and seq have special evaluation
rules, the first argument is not evaluated until after the value of
the index is substituted.
