Hi Amos,Thanks for the suggestions. The erroneous whitespace was as result of my mail formatting and is not a part of the actual command and I neglected to mention that adding the -d results in the exact same thing happening. I have consulted the manpage and still cannot see where I'm going wrong.

Please add -d to your parameters. That will output debug info into
cache.log for the lookups that may help you narrow down the problem.
For the record the helper manual is here:
