No, you misunderstood that I was saying.  I am going to assume that
you looked at the web page and copied the text that you saw.  Given
that, you copied the text wrong.  Consider:

    settrans -c dummy /hurd/ext2fs 'pwd' /dummy.fs
    settrans -c dummy /hurd/ext2fs `pwd`/dummy.fs

There is an enormous difference between the two above lines.  The
first is what you typed and the second is that is on the web page.

Neither plague nor pest; just newbie.
