Can't change metadata with ebook-meta

Hi,

I'd like to change the metadata of a huge number of ebooks, so I would like to do that via a small batch file which repeatedly calls ebook-media with the appropiate data. But already my first manual try with ebook-media wasn't successful. I tried to change the author in an epub-file as follows:

ebook-media "path\filename" -a "firstname lastname"

But the metadata were left unchanged as could be seen from the output of ebook-meta in the terminal. I also tried '--authors' instead of '-a', but that didn't help either.

Calibre (latest version) is running on an Windows XP Pro SP3 system. The file is not write protected.

What am I doing wrong? Many thanks in advance for any help

ciao
