I'm on 1.9.x right now (whatever is in the yum repo for CentOS 6.6)...the past couple of weeks banging around has lead me to think I may want to go up to 2.x, your advice reinforces that.
That said...I figured it out. I keep forgetting that I'm effectively running everything in Powershell :) Basically my call wasn't valid within PS...as soon as I straightened that out I was fine. That's 4 hours of my life I won't get back but it was a heck of a "lesson learned". Thanks!
