No such file or directory



I'm trying to bring the bookmark file from ubuntu firefox into iceweasel. I copied it to a usb drive and then into /etc/iceweasel/profile after renaming the existing file. The permissions came out different from the old file:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7139 2008-09-29 00:57 _bookmarks.html
-rwx------ 1 root root 7139 2008-09-29 01:02 bookmarks.html

so I ran chmod as root and got this:

debian:/etc/iceweasel/profile# /etc/iceweasel/profile$ chmod 644 bookmarks.html
bash: /etc/iceweasel/profile$: No such file or directory

Damned strange considering I was in /etc/iceweasel/profile at the time. Could someone explain what's going on?

Thanks.
