Non-numeric argument to "-t"

[chris_s]

This is a weird situation but let me go to the bottom line first. I am calling Exiftool using the command line. It is returning this message with no other details (even though I am using -verbose).  If I can understand what might trigger this message, it may help to figure out why it is happening.

More Details

• The parm looks like: 
  -tagsfromfile "...\DSCF0023_std_provia.RAF" -verbose -makernotes -make -model -lensinfo "...\DSCF0023_std_provia.tiff"  (I cut down the file names just for this post but they are full in the command and they are valid)
  
• I am not using the -t option as you can see above
• This was working earlier so I've probably done something stupid but nothing is obvious. The message itself may be a red herring and may not be indicative of the actual problem but I may as well start with finding out what it means.
  
• This call to exiftool is made immediately after the tiff file was created. I tried adding a pause before calling exiftool but that didn't make a difference.
• I can make exactly the same call from a separate test program and it works fine.
