In "-DELE", the minus sign says do it after the file transfer is
successful, otherwise not. A plus would do it before the transfer which
in this case would be counterproductive.

Setting verbose was the trick I needed. I had to change the command to

	--quote "-DELE ''zip-file';"

i.e removing the /test/ as the directory had already been set by the
transfer and adding a ";" for VMS.

Thanks,
