Michael Thanks, I think I almost got it. This time it loaded however there were a few line specific error files although i'm guessing these are just problems with individual cards and don't matter. However, the last error was "permission denied: 'xxxx.txt'. I think this last error caused it to not be created, how do you think I could fix this? By the way if the cards were downloaded where would the file be?
