Download with pid always says "INFO: 0 matching programmes"

user-1341

Hi

I did read the docs but couldn't find an answer to this.
Whenever I use the pid to download programmes, I always see this and I think I've entered the wrong pid:
"INFO: 0 matching programmes"

But then it finds the programme and downloads it fine.

e.g.
Code:
>get_iplayer --pid b09qjl7d --info

INFO: 0 matching programmes

I believe this is because it isn't in the cache, not that it isn't on iPlayer.
