Thanks Christian. I believe that was my problem. I was using the --parent option. I just tried again and it looked like it worked. I thought I tried this without the option originally and then added it to see if I had better results but apparently not. If I manage to reproduce the issue without the parent option, I will rerun the command with the --debug option and create the bug report. Thanks again!
