Hi,

And my command that works with the demo layer "states" (actually
"topp:states") is

ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" test.shp 
WFS:"http://localhost:8080/geoserver/ows?" states 

Notices:

- Check the url of your service (osw vs. ows)
- Output name "test" should perhaps work and create a new directory and
insert shapefile into that. However, I got a directory "test" and an empty
file "topp" inside it. If your intention is not to write into a named
directory use "ec_pensioners.shp" as output.
