Help with propeller load

Almost working!
On the PropTool F10 sends to ram, and F11 sends to eeprom.
For large C programs (bigger than hub) there are several options and I'm using external ram as the equivalent of F10, and loading programs from SD card to external ram as the equivalent of F11.
Loading to ram with the -r option in propeller-load works fine.
However loading from eeprom doesn't quite seem to work. It is writing a file 'autorun.pex' on the SD card and this is the correct size. However it does not seem to reading this on startup.
The config file is
and the batch file is
and the output is (ignore the two cast warnings from spin2cpp)
rebooting the propeller runs from "Loading SD driver" onwards. So the problem appears to be loading ram from the SD card.
Is the syntax above correct?
And if so, would there be a way to find out if it is hanging, what it is doing on that last line etc?
Any help would be most appreciated

Load from PC to ram seems to work. It is the load from SD to ram that seems to not be working. Cheers, Drac,
