Yeah I guess a lot of people learn the hard way!
I would not be too bothered if it were not for the fact the girlfriend gets sick of me being to the computer enough as it is. She is going to love how long its going to take me to get things up and running again!  :? 

I wonder if maybe a comment should be added to the Wiki page so other people who may be as dumb as me know there is no space in that command and to be careful.  If for no other reason than to save them from the hell I know the girlfriend is going to put me through over this. 

Good thing she does not visit this forum  :P
