Getting no translations back.

[jojojames]

I have installed vernacular using make; make install, brought the dlls over to my xamarin project and wrote this small script.

Inside my code file is this line.
string a = Catalog.GetString ("teststring", "testcomment");

vernacular
--output=em.pot
--input=Debug/EMXamarin.dll
--source-root=$EMCLIENTROOT/etc/etc
--generator=po
--pot
--meta="Project-Id-Version=EM PROJECT"
--meta="Project-Creation-Date=$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:$M%z')"
--log
--verbose
--analyze

I end up getting this back.
