You need either double slashes, or alternatively use the / character instead
(a lot of c compilers turn this into \\ for you).

You also need the ;1 at the end (to specify the version of the file)

And you have to wait for the operation to finish, its a asyncronous
operation, it doesn't wait till its finished before returning.
