Can't get zmupdate.pl to run

[tedukes]

Hello,
Trying to upgrade fro 1.32.x to 1.34.3 on CentOS 7.

When I run zmupdate.pl, iget the folowing errors:
DBI connect('database=zm;host=localhost','zmuser',...) failed: Access denied for user 'zmuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/ZoneMinder/Database.pm line 107.

If I try running zmupdate.pl --user=root --pass=<mysql_root_pwd> --version=<from version> and inserting my password, I get the following error:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

Any help would be greatly appreciated

TIA

Found the problem.
The password in zm.conf was not the same as the password for the database.
