I believe that. --machine takes a machine name as argument, not the file
name to the machine ini file.

The name is what the first line ([ ... ]) in the ini file shows.

This would work, because here you skip the name->file lookup.

It would be interesting to see which name you have set in sumo.ini.
Could you attach the file to an email to the list?

Also, if the ini file is setup nicely, you shouldn't have to specify the
name at all, because simfactory would look at what 'hostname' returns
and try to "guess" where it is. So, please also tell us what 'hostname'
on sumo returns.
