You must have a different version of ddrescue to the one that I
use. http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html

Synopsis: ddrescue /path/to/broken/file /path/to/saved/copy /tmp/log.tmp

Don't omit the third parameter as ddrescue uses the "log file" to record
the current state of play with the copy.
