Are you using the PID from your PC or from your device? Do you have more than 1 PID entered in the book store and are they all valid mobi PIDs? Not sure if this will matter but try double quotes instead of single. Also, try no quotes. Does that matter?

I also assume that neither of the book file names have spaces or special characters in them? If so, you would need to surround them with double quotes too. (Because I'm sure the above is not the "exact" line that you are using.)
