I also tried it without the plus and got the exact same error.

I tried it again just now, without the plus, and still get the error.

./exec/jsexec addfiles area /path/to/filelist/listname 33 15

It knows enough to pick up the listname but then uses the path where the
filearea is (the wrong one) instead of the one I am giving it (the path on
the CD where the listname is).

FWIW, yesterday when I first had the error I was taking the commands I was using
directly from that wiki page.  As it appeared yesterday, it still had
the '+' syntax in the examples as I copied and pasted it from the page.
