I don't see the "-o" that's supposed to precede the options, there...
You might try putting the '-o' in between 'mp3 ' and ' username='.  It's
probably using your login name instead of the one you specify on the
command line as well, and only getting as far as the password because
the login's coincidentally *also* charles.
