I followed the how to, I searched past message traffic here, I searched Google, but I am still having an issue...
rpt.conf line says -
outstreamcmd=/bin/sh,-c,/usr/bin/lame --preset cbr 16 -r -m m -s 8.0 --bitwidth 16 - - | /usr/local/bin/ezstream -c /etc/ezstream.xmln/sh,-c,/usr/bin/lame --preset cbr 16 -r -m m -s 8 --bitwidth 16 - - 2> /tmp/stream.status | /usr/local/bin/ezstream -qvc /etc/ezstream.xml

The feed never comes up and in my CLI window I keep getting the following, over and over and over again...
 -- app_rpt node 42413 starting output stream /bin/sh,-c,/usr/bin/lame --preset cbr 16 -r -m m -s 8.0 --bitwidth 16 - - | /usr/local/bin/ezstream -c /etc/ezstream.xml

I tried this rpt.conf line from another internet tutorial - 

outstreamcmd=/bin/sh,-c,/usr/bin/lame --preset cbr 16 -r -m m -s 8 --bitwidth 16 - - 2> /tmp/stream.status | /usr/local/bin/ezstream -qvc /etc/ezstream.xml

My ezstream.xml file looks like this - 

<ezstream> 
    <url>http://audio1.broadcastify.com:80/TheMountNameTheyGaveMe</url>   
    <sourcepassword>ThePassWordTheyGaveMe</sourcepassword>

</ezstream> 


Does anyone have any idea where I went wrong?
It's GOT to be something simple!
I have had this particular stream running for years on and old radio shack scanner piped into scannercast running on an old Windoze box I would really like to retire.  I would rather just have the RasPi on the node stream right to it.
Could it be something as simple as having the redirect a port forwarding rule from the old Windoze box to the Ras Pi?  I tried that and still can't get it to work...
I am sort of stumped at the moment...
