Not sure what is the recommended method for pulling facebook video,
but no luck with this one...

The syntax of the command is incorrect.
The system cannot find the file specified.

youtube-dl 'https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10153317450565268&set=vb.1447460188811856&type=2&theater' works fine. Did you really wanted to write a newline in the url?:

C:\Transmogrifier>youtube-dl.py -v https://www.facebook.com/Shiniknoh#!/photo.ph
p?v=10153317450565268&set=vb.1447460188811856&type=2&theater

Or it was added when copying the output?

Also you forgot to enclose the url, it will cause some problems because it contains &.

Thanks for the report. Support for this URL type has been added in youtube-dl 2013.12.16. Type youtube-dl -U to update. As @jaimeMF notes, you should also enclose the URL in quotes lest random commands are executed, although it should work here even without quotes.
