I must be extremely dense today! But:

From the terminal the command:

Code:
feeds2lrf --output=test.lrf 'Associated Press'
Writes the file "test.lrf" to the directory: Macintosh HD/User/Me

And the command"

Code:
feeds2lrf --output=Desktop/newspapers/test.lrf 'Associated Press'
writes the file to folder "newspapers" on the desktop

On the other hand from crontab the command:

Code:
feeds2lrf --output=test.lrf 'Associated Press'
writes the file "test.lrf" to the root of "Macintosh HD"

and the command:

Code:
feeds2lrf --output='Macintosh HD'/Users/Me/Desktop/newspapers/test.lrf 'Associated Press'
writes nothing at all and the command:

Code:
feeds2lrf --output='Macintosh HD':Users:Me:Desktop:newspapers:test.lrf 'Associated Press'
writes a file "Macintosh HD/Users/Me/Desktop/newspapers/test.lrf"

To the root of "Macintosh HD"

(note that the slashes are part of the file name and are not path delimiters.)

Now I know I must have done something incredibly stupid, but I am lost.
