That's still the incorrect syntax for addfiles.js. Though, I don't think it's
relevant to your question at this point.

The error message is a bit misleading (not printing the actual list path it was
trying to find when a full path to a listfile was specified on the
command-line). I'll commit a version with better error reporting here shortly.
Please re-test with that.

It sounds like you copied commands from the wrong wiki page:
https://wiki.synchro.net/util:addfiles <- the old/deprecated addfiles.exe
https://wiki.synchro.net/module:addfiles <- the new/supported addfile.js
But at least now, I don't think that's the source of your problem.
