Syntax error in '.kdfiles

When using Windbg, and issuing a .kdfiles command, I keep getting the
following error:
kd> .kdfiles
^ Syntax error in '.kdfiles'


It doesn't seem to want to recognize the .kdfiles command.

Anyone know what could be causing the problem.

you need to pass more parameters to the command (like .kdfiles -c)

That's how I was doing initially, but it still gave me a syntax error, with
it pointing to the last character in the command.
.kdfiles -m GXHSMXP.sys L:\GXHSMDriverXP\objfre_wxp_x86\i386\GXHSMXP.sys

Moreover, according to the help document, you can pass in the command by
itself.
It doesn't need parameters.
From the help file:
***************************************************
Comments
If .kdfiles is used with no parameters, the path and name of the current
driver replacement map file will be displayed, along with the current set of
replacement associations.

I have referred to the help file. I find no limitations that apply.
I'm using an XP machine, and I'm debugging a memory dump file that was
dumped on an XP machine.

How could .kdfiles be useful in dump analysis?
