Looks to me like it's confusing ls with the optional site parameter. It seems the difference between -e and -c is the former executes the given commands then stays online (in an lfpt shell?) whereas -c does its stuff then exits.
I was using -e to see what the problem was. Using -c took me back to the normal bash prompt with no message of any sort.
For multiple commands I'd guess separating them with semicolons or using a shell script are the alternatives.
I can do it with a script but I want to be able to use the more flexible command line approach.
I'll try your suggestion of using semicolons.
