I'm scripting some batch editing routines and I'd like to use the MarcEdit command line tool to convert Marc21XML to MARC. I can successfully convert using the 5.2 gui but no dice using the command line tool. To this point I've only every used the command line tool to break and make marc files.

Here is my syntax:
C:\Program Files\MarcEdit 5.0>cmarcedit.exe -s xmltest.xml -d xmltest.mrc -xmlmarc
Beginning Process...
-1 records have been processed in 0.000000 seconds.

Header and namespace info from xml doc:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<collection xsi:schemaLocation='http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim.xsd' xmlns='http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'>
<record>

Should I be referencing an xslt file?

Thanks in advance,
