Cordova resolveLocalFileSystemURL success call back failing

I've just created a new project and installed the file and file-transfer api's via CLI. I have already created a working app previously so I know how to use phonegap and have been doing so for a few years now.

Here is the code:

uri from navigator.camera.getPicture(): "file:///localhost/var/mobile/Applications/96B4705C-C70D-4340-9A42-HJ1F28355D43/tmp/cdv_photo_015.jpg"

window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(uri, function(fileEntry)

{ console.log(fileEntry.name); }

, function(error)

{ console.log('about to resolve this files errors'); console.log(error.code); }

);
Nothing ever gets outputted in the console debugging window ...and yes I have debug installed cause I have console.log() in other parts of my code that show up.
