Well, this mistake is probably totally obvious once you remembered how
to use it or RTFMed again. But I was studying the output and none of the
messages really yelled "you failed to provide a valid source". At least
not anything I would interpret in a such way.

And since it apparently started to do its job, there was no reason to
assume that the parameters were wrong. So I started looking for other
problems.

Please display the reason for not doing any work in simple English.

Regards,
Eduard.
