What is wrong with my terminal command: sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia/Volumes/64GBCruzerBlade/Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app
I am on an ld MacPro 2008 running on Yosemite 10.10.5
Mac Pro, OS X 10.10
As the command is posted here, you have no spaces between the command and its various options, plus you neglected to include the option flags "--volume" and "--applicationpath".
Here is an Apple article with the necessary instructions...just make sure to note the actual spaces between options:
Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support
Here is the command from the Apple article:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app
Assuming your USB stick is named "64GBCruzerBlade" with no spaces in the name, then here is the command you should have used:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/64GBCruzerBlade --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app
Make sure not to use any spaces in the name of the USB stick as that just makes things much more difficult & confusing.
FYI, in the future when posting Terminal commands it is best to use the "Code Insertion" tool whose icon looks like "</>" on the forum editing toolbar. This "Code Insertion" tool makes it much easier for us to read any Terminal commands & messages since characters & spaces are more legible due to a different font used by the Code Insertion tool. The command line is very unforgiving so it is important to be able to clearly distinguish each character including spaces.

Open Terminal (Applications/ Utilities) now copy and paste this command into the Terminal window,
sudo plutil -replace CFBundleShortVersionString -string "12.6.03" /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Info.plist
press return
enter your password
press return
Now paste in the createinstallmedia command for Sierra where MyVolume can be replaced with the name of your USB stick
If your USB name has more than one word separated by spaces you would need to type it in as
/The\ USB\ Name
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app
press return
follow the prompts
