What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Upon command invoke, example "rclone --version", 2 messages are emitted: 1.) "Failed to transform" trying to invoke "echo", 2.) Access attempted to a file "stories/The Quick Brown Fox!.txt" fails
Nonetheless, rclone does output the expected --version info.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
C:>rclone --version

With the command above, none.
In normal use, my rclone.conf describes mounts for my personal Google Drive
