After updating youtube-dl, I tried the same command structure that's worked for me in the past, but no joy. The page opens and plays when the same password is used directly at the Vimeo hosting page. Am I missing something?

python2.6 youtube-dl --verbose --video-password xxxxxxx http://vimeo.com/xxxxxxxx
