If "it didn't work", then there can only be two reasons.  One is that 
the filesystem may not let you append (>>) to a file that doesn't 
exist.  Try > instead.  The second is that you may not be in the 
directory you think you are when you try to open the file.  Put a 
"print `pwd`" in the script and see where it thinks it is.

The : at the beginning of the path is correct, though.  Leaving it off is not.
