TIP: When you are writing your question, there is a button on the tool bar that wraps the [code] tags around your copy/pasted code. It helps a bunch. Its the button with a '#' on it. More on tags. They're cool. Check'em out.

The command is proper. So your problem is elsewhere. Perhaps the file is open and in use by another process. Maybe the file is locked (attributes). Maybe you aren't logged in as a user with sufficient privileges.
