This is the suggested version from Sony to program for the IO Processor of 
the Playstation 2.  Maybe newer versions would be ok, but this is the one 
suggested.

I found the error was related to / being converted to  \.  I did some 
hacking of the source and fixed the problem.  I've written a tutorial as 
part of my ps2 programming web site.  You can see the changes I made here..

Thanks for the ideas and feedback everyone..
