Aha, and I'm guessing your filesystem is case dependent. Is the actual tool called "MP4Box" rather than "mp4box" ? I put in a last minute commit last night to sanity-check the presence of the tool, and disable the conversion if you don't have it, but there may be issues with that.

Did you specify the path as I did in the example above?
