[SOLVED] How to copy files to kindle with 'ebook-device cp'?

I have been trying to use the ebook-device command to copy files to my kindle from the cli.
ebook-device info returns

Code:
Device name:      Amazon Kindle
Device version:   
Software version: 
Mime type:
But when trying to actually copy files to the Kindle like so:

ebook-device cp myEbook.mobi /documents/

the command does nothing.

The helpfile states:

Quote:
Device paths have the form
dev:mountpoint/my/path
where mountpoint is one of / or card:/
A second stab at the problem was to use the output of ebook-device info: "Amazon Kindle" and use that as the device-path:

Code:
ebook-device cp myEbook.mobi Amazon\ Kindle:/documents/
which also did not work.

So, what am I missing?
