Running 1.70 from the Windows command line results in the following messages, even if no arguments are passed:

ERROR : Failed to transform: : error running command "echo stories": exec: "echo": executable file not found in %PATH%
ERROR : stories/The Quick Brown Fox!.txt: number of path segments must match: stories/The Quick Brown Fox!.txt (1),  (0)

Then program execution continues, normally (as far as I can tell).

Thank you. As this has also been reported (better, and with the requested info) in Invoke of 1.70.0 Complains of "echo" Not Found, I'm following the thread there from now on.

After upgrading to rclone v1.70 on archlinux now I wasn't able to start systemd user unit files that executed rclone mounts. It's strange, because I am able to run the same command successfully from an interactive command line, but from systemd it exits with 143 code. Had to downgrade to v1.69 to be able to run them.
