Syntax Help

[maxreality]

I am confident that I'm doing something severely n00bish and incorrect here, but I've tried (nearly) everything.

I created a test account on my box to hopefully crack the shadow file.

I copied the line to a test hash file with this line
testing:$6$3yx0TEli$AbGUWY.IVOIwc8IaKgj3WptKvzmgIdibCG5eGUkATRSQEnO2JzVNm2msngTgz6RSd6hbhdV8HodJxiRxggRGq1:14827:0:99999:7:::

My usage
./hashcat-cli.bin --hash-mode=500 /home/test/Desktop/test /home/test/Desktop/wordlist
yields either
(seperator unmatched)
or
(line length exception)

I thought I'd start off with something easy. I know the password, and the password is stored in the wordlist. Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance,
