[OSM-talk] Osmosis appears to be working correctly but no output file created. Any one seen this before?

Hi all, 

Some progress made: 

I have a shell script do_it2.sh that looks like this: 
java -mx1024m -jar osmosis.jar --read-xml file=uk-080227.osm  --bounding-polygon file="MyArea.txt" --write-xml file="MyArea.osm" 

and MyArea.txt looks like this: 
North_Bristol 
1 
51.6304 -2.5619 
51.6304 -2.4925 
51.4865 -2.4925 
51.4865 -2.5619 
END 
END 

And I get this: 

[scottn at localhost osmosis-0.24]$ sh do_it2.sh 
01-Mar-2008 18:17:20 com.bretth.osmosis.core.Osmosis main 
INFO: Osmosis Version 0.24

01-Mar-2008 18:18:25 com.bretth.osmosis.core.Osmosis main 
INFO: Pipeline complete. 
[scottn at localhost osmosis-0.24]$ 

It goes away for a few minutes but the file MyArea.osm is not created. 

I am obviously missing something here! 

Thanks and Regards, 

Nathan
