Are you sure you are trying to download a playlist?, it looks like the url has a video id: RDz6h-rQmya.
The video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDz6h-rQmya is not available and http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=RDz6h-rQmyaag redirects me to the main YouTube page.
Where did you get the url?

The cleaner URL is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEQBfJwYlLY&list=RDDprmuBbi0N0 and it's not a Playlist, but a Youtube Mix a different type of format for the list identifier.
No problems with playlists, as long as you remember to quote the URL, to avoid backgrounding the process and then only getting the first item

Okay, doing some further research on this:

You Tube Mix seems to be randomly generate lists of up to 49 related videos, so the list ID is generated from the selected video URL, with an R (for Random ?) in front

I did notice that the 'PL' prefix is being added in the initial comment

[youtube:playlist] Downloading playlist PLRDDprmuBbi0N0 - add --no-playlist to just download video QEQBfJwYlLY

but doesn't appear in the subsequent line.
