Do you have a space in folder "4.Web studio"? That could be messing it up. I think when you type out your path it thinks you are giving two arguments to sass.

Also, I think by default it will compile your css file and save it where the sass file is. If you want to store your css file one level up then I think you'll have to specify that when you run the command.
