BAH! hdiutil won't segment under -srcFolder

k, I'm trying to backup my hardrive and wish to have the output segmented (all in one step). Here's an _example_ of what I'm doing:

hdiutil create -srcFolder "/Volumes/Two" -segmentSize "2g" "/Volumes/brick_ufs/img/Two"



here's the message I keep getting:

hdiutil: create: WARNING: -segmentSize ignored since -srcdevice not specified.


the man for hdiutil says the -segmentSize can be used for -srcdevice AND -srcfolder


any ideas?

i don't want to use -srcdevice, and I would like to be able to not have to create and then segment (two different steps - more time and disk space required).


thanks.
