[ecasound] Help reading .ecs files

Hello,

I've been successfully creating and executing chainsetups via the command
line and now I want to read an .ecs file instead.

I have the following example saved in F:\Mixing\test.ecs:

============
-a:INPUT0 -i select,240,60,'F:\\Mixing\\RAW\\Set_3\\SNARE___.WAV'
-chcopy:1,2 -eadb:0
-a:INPUT1 -i select,240,60,'F:\\Mixing\RAW\\Set_3\\KICK____.WAV'
-chcopy:1,2 -eadb:9
-a:INPUT0,INPUT1 -o loop,SUBMIX1OUT
-a:SUBMIX1 -i loop,SUBMIX1OUT
-a:SUBMIX1 -o F:\\Mixing\\TestOutput.wav
============

When I execute "ecasound.exe -s:F:\Mixing\test.ecs" I receive the following
error:

============
(eca-chainsetup) WARNING: Unable to read global resources. May result in
incorrect behaviour.
(eca-chainsetup) Chainsetup "F:\Mixing\test.ecs" created (file:
F:\Mixing\test.ecs)
(eca-chainsetup) "nonrt" buffering mode selected.
ERROR: Connecting chainsetup failed: "Enabling chainsetup:
AUDIOIO-SEQBASE: Could not create child object."
============

If I add single quotes around the the filepath of the output, which seem to
be required for the input wavs to load:

============
-a:INPUT0 -i select,240,60,'F:\\Mixing\\RAW\\Set_3\\SNARE___.WAV'
-chcopy:1,2 -eadb:0
-a:INPUT1 -i select,240,60,'F:\\Mixing\RAW\\Set_3\\KICK____.WAV'
-chcopy:1,2 -eadb:9
-a:INPUT0,INPUT1 -o loop,SUBMIX1OUT
-a:SUBMIX1 -i loop,SUBMIX1OUT
-a:SUBMIX1 -o F:\\Mixing\\TestOutput.wav
============

I get this error instead when executing ecasound via the .ecs:

============
(eca-chainsetup) WARNING: Unable to read global resources. May result in
incorrect behaviour.
(eca-chainsetup) Chainsetup "F:\Mixing\test.ecs" created (file:
F:\Mixing\test.ecs)
(eca-session) Error loading chainsetup: Audio object
"'F:\Mixing\TestOutput.wav'" does not match any of the known audio device
types or file formats. You can ch
eck the list of supported audio object types by issuing the command
'aio-register' in ecasound's interactive mode.
(eca-session) Chainsetup loaded from "F:\Mixing\test.ecs" is not valid!

---
ecasound: ERROR: [ECA-SESSION] : "Errors parsing session-level options.
Unable to create session."
============
Both examples above work fine when typed at the command line. What am I
doing wrong?
Thanks much!
Kevin
