Almost there, I try mounting and I get an error -1069. However, if I mount in interactive mode and manually specify the password, it works. Is there anything I am doing wrong below

The example below fails --> (returns -1069)
mkdir /Volumes/foo
mount_afp afp://me:mypass@192.168.0.1/foo /Volumes/foo

The example below succeeds but prompts for my password -->
mkdir /Volumes/foo
mount_afp -i afp://me@192.168.0.1 /Volumes/foo
