Greetings. I assume that this must be simple, but I am missing something. My 
goal is to be able to change the text in notes that I have added outside of 
Skim. Here's what I thought the way to do this would be:

1) Start with a bare PDF called "test1.pdf".
2) Add a note with "Add New Text Note tool. Make the text in that note "AAAA", 
and move it to where I want it.
3) Save the edited PDF and close it.
4) Extract the notes with "skimnotes get -format text test1.pdf"
5) The file test1.txt now has:
* Text Note, page 1
AAAA
6) In that file, change "AAAA" to "BBBB".
7) Attempt to make the changes in the PDF with "skimnotes set test1.pdf 
test1.txt"
8) Open the PDF in Skim.

At this point, Skim puts up an error message "Unable to Read Notes" with the 
explanation "Skim was not able to read the notes at ~/Downloads/test1.pdf. The 
file does not exist or is not a file. Do you want to continue to open the PDF 
document anyway?".

I am assuming that I have done something wrong in step 7, but I can't figure 
out what from the help text. Any clues would be appreciated.
