Thanks for your help Wendy. Adding -U to the end of the command seems to have worked. Now I'm able to run the commands I've been trying to.
This kind of troubleshooting information would be extremely useful on pages like: http://maven.apache.org/run-maven/index.html http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.html and the wiki.
