One thing I tried was do do a convert of a DOCX file to ODT using this
method and all I got in the ODT was an XML looking file. bit if I take
the same file and open the DOCX in LO then save as ODT it works . Any
ideas?

Should this not be more standardized?
As far as I remember, options for Windows command-line programs are
delimited
by slash (e.g. del /f some_file).
So, either way, LO behavior is non-standard for Windows apps. But, on the
other hand, most of Windows users does not use terminal mode - those
who do
perhaps have some experience with Linux shells as well.
You are right, so there are 2 options:
1) Do it the Windows-way, and make LO use the '/' for this stuff.
2) Do it the LO-way, and make sure the parameters are accepted the same
way on every implemented platform.
