I don't think --src is one of the options.  Try this to see the options:
zanata help po push

Note that --srcdir only changes the directory for source files, ie POT
files.  You need --transdir or --dir if you want to change the directory
for PO files.  (I think it would have looked in ./po for the PO files.)

We should have better documentation (ie a manual) for the clients
soon...ish.  But any suggestions for the console help would be
appreciated.  I guess it would be a start to make sure all the default
values were listed in the help.  James?

The default is to look in ./po, so yes, you do have to override it in
your case (or you could run "zanata po pull" from the parent directory
if the target directory is named "po").  If your directory is not named
"po", then I'm not sure why that worked for you.

--dir specifies the base directory for POT and PO files, so POT/PO files
may be written to this directory, or to pre-determined subdirectories of
it.  (I think PO files go to {--dir}/po.)

You *should* be able to use: "zanata po pull --dstdir .", but there's a
bug in the option handling.

James, please look at my comments on
