[gdal-dev] problem with ogr2ogr

Dear List,

 

I am attempting to use ogr2ogr to append a shapefile to another
shapefile.  However, when the -update parameter is included the
incorrect source filename appears to be used.

 

ogr2ogr -append  -update -select meta_type,meta_id,meta_name
"C:/downloadworking/out.shp" "SSSI/sssi.shp"

 

ERROR 1: Failed to create file .shp file.

ERROR 4: Failed to open Shapefile `C:/downloadworking/out.shp\sssi.shp'.

 

ERROR 1: Terminating translation prematurely after failed translation of
layer sssi (use -skipfailures to skip errors)

 

I am using latest FW Tools on XP.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.
