No, that's just a quotation style. I remember someone posting this error
before... I just can't quite remember what the issue was.

Anyway, what's happening here is that a KeyError is making it's way out
to the code that then shows the error message. There's nothing wrong
with the 'add' command, it's just the error message is for the wrong
error. I've pushed a fix to PyBOMBS that would at least give you the
right error message. Can you please try again?

Thanks,
