Weird 193 isn't an NSS error. NSS errors are all negative and quite 
large (like -8120). The string is coming from PR_Error(), so it may be 
an NSPR error trying to load the library, or a libc error NSPR is 
passing off to us that it can't translate.

The syntax looks fine. It looks like it looks like it's getting the 
correct database.  (I'm presuming you aren't trying to add it to a 
database you've already added). I wonder if the tools are choking on the 
windows '\'. They shouldn't, but it's possible. Maybe try using unix 
style '/'.?
