Can't add item to Dock

[MetrosX]

Hello, I recently tried version 1.2 and now 2.0 with the same results on 10.9.3

Using the command;
dockutil --add /Applications/Self\ Service.app
It refreshes my dock but nothing appears.

dockutil --list
Provides information that Self Service exists in the plist but does not visually appear on the dock.
Self Service /Applications/Self Service.app persistent-apps /Users/test/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist

I've restarted, logged out and cleared the .db existing in ~/Library/Application Support/Dock/

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Try specifying a plist to update. If you are running as root it may be updating roots dock.

I am running it as the user;-

computerName:~ test$ /usr/local/bin/dockutil --add /Applications/Self\ Service.app
Self Service already exists in dock. Use --replacing 'Self Service' to update an existing item
item /Applications/Self Service.app was not added to Dock

Any other ideas mate?

Thanks.

What is the output with -v (verbose)?

computerName:~ test$ /usr/local/bin/dockutil --add /Applications/Self\ Service.app -v

Hi Kyle,

Scrub the above, I have tested on another machine and it works fine. I'm going to virtualise another instance and try again.

Thanks for your help.

Okay let me know if you discover the root cause.
