join_paired_ends.py: error: option -f: file does not exist

[Inya Ivano]

Hi,

I've been having trouble with running my files:

>join_paired_ends.py -f /home/qiime/Documents/Aleurone/1101-Pl1-A1_S193_L001_R2_001.fastq.gz -r /home/qiime/Documents/Aleurone/1101-Pl1-A1_S193_L001_R1_001.fastq.gz -o /home/qiime/Documents/Aleurone/Joined_1101

>join_paired_ends.py: error: option -f: file does not exist: '/home/qiime/Documents/Aleurone/1101-Pl1-A1_S193_L001_R2_001.fastq.gz'

What I'm not sure about is whether there's a problem with the script or the virtualmachine settings, I'm using the latest Oracle VM VirtualBox version 5.0.16 edition.
