virtualbox folder sharing error

[alonips]

i'm getting this error, when i write this in the terminal:
VBoxManage sharedfolder add "windowsxp" -name "Music"
-hostpath "/home/bernardo/Music"

where (windowsxp) is my virtualmachine, (Music) the name of the folder i want to share, and (/home/bernardo/Music) the path to the folder.

what appears in the terminal is :
Syntax error: Not enough parameters
bernardo@bernardo-desktop:~$ -hostpath "/home/bernardo/Music"
bash: -hostpath: command not found
bernardo@bernardo-desktop:~$ VBoxManage sharedfolder add "windowsxp" -name "Music"

It appears that you may have entered your code in two lines in the terminal, make sure there is no line break before '-hostpah'.

Hope this helps.
