Seemingly no-crack attemps

[gsamuelhays]

I'm just learning to use the hashcat tool. I have a test.md5 file I'm using that has md5-hashed test passwords. When I run the tool, the output looks like this:

>hashcat-cli64 -m 0 -a 3 --pw-min=3 --pw-max=9 -o .\cracked.txt -1 ?l?d?s?u test.md5 mask
Initializing hashcat v0.41 by atom with 8 threads and 32mb segment-size...

Added hashes from file test.md5: 55 (1 salts)

as one can see, it doesn't seem to actually do anything. I'm certain that I'm missing some key thing here. Can someone help?

Thanks
