[OSM-dev] osmosis, tee and bounding boxes

Hi,

Works for me:

$ osmosis --rx excerpts/europe/slovenia.osm --tee 4 --bounding-box 
left=15 top=46 right=17 bottom=45 --bounding-box left=15 bottom=46 
right=17 top=47 --bounding-box right=15 top=46 left=13 bottom=45 
--bounding-box right=15 bottom=46 left=13 top=47 --write-xml 
SloveniaGarminSE.osm --write-xml SloveniaGarminNE.osm --write-xml 
SloveniaGarminSW.osm --write-xml SloveniaGarminNW.osm

Maybe you have a newer Osmosis version and the assignment of the 
different i/o streams has changed. Try playing with the order of options 
(try alternating --bounding-box and --write-xml) or assign the pipes 
explicitly.
