Ah, your comments have made me realise what the problem is. The line
has been copied from the PDF of the manual, but the single apostrophe
doesn't paste properly. I had corrected one but not the other.

Its working now. I did know it was going to be something stupid.

Thanks, your post made me look at this line that much more closely.
