Power Quest Drive Image command line

Hi,
I'm trying to use command line switches with Power Quest Drive Image v4

I'm using the line:
PQDI /CMD=A:\RESTORE.TXT /IMG=D:\<filename>.PQI
in an autoexec.bat

the RESTORE.TXT file contains:
SELECT DRIVE 1
SELECT PARTITION C:
RESTORE

but PQDI keeps on returning the error
/CMD=A:\RESTORE.TXT is unknown.

the file is there, it's contents are good, the switch seems to be supported here:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/powerquest.nsf/05203533103a98c388256e97004b8ff3/bc78543339b7478488256e75007cb9d5?OpenDocument&prod=Drive%20Image%20Pro&ver=4.0&pcode=dimage_pro&src=ent&miniver=dimage_pro_4&tpre=&prev=&dtype=corp

this document relates to the Pro version, was the switch only supported in that one??

DrW - I can't call it from c:, because that's what I'm trying to overwrite, but we do have a d: partition where the images are held, so I've tried it from there... same error (except referring to D:)
I also tried not listing the path at all ie
PQDI /CMD=RESTORE.TXT /IMG=D:\V927BO23.PQI
but that didn't work either.  I was wondering if the interpreter was bad, and taking the \ as an additional switch.  Didn't work either.

Steve - yep, the filename is there, I just cut it out to make stuff clearer.  Obviously, didn't work!   ;-]

as Power Quest have now been bought by Symantec, the support is rubbish.  Strange that.  You'd think they were trying to get me to buy Ghost, or something......

guess it's just broken then...
cheers for the help guys.

No-one fixed it, but the suggestions were all good, so will do a 3 way split (have bumped the points to make it easy), and take the first answer as Accepted.
