I tried this but it failed:

Error opening or reading file java.io.IOException: Unable to find a file inside /home/markb/OSM/GB.zip that starts with /home/markb/OSM/GB
java.io.IOException: Unable to find a file inside /home/markb/OSM/GB.zip that starts with /home/markb/OSM/GB

I guess it needs to strip the pathname from the zip file name?

Cheers,

Mark
