maybe a backslash character in command?

As we exchanged in email, that is a warning (so can be safely ignored), but that warning is most likely caused by a misplaced backslash character in front of --echo, so if you remove that backslash character, the command will work fine.
change:
\ --echo
to just
--echo

The backslash character is only to be used for continuation lines - denoted by ending the previous line with the backslash character.
