Trying to debug sqlite DB from device, but permission denied when copying db to SD

I'm following the instructions here: Debugging sqlite database on the device.

My problem arises when trying to copy the file to sdcard. If I run the full command, it doesn't give me any message, and the file isn't there when i go there through My Computer. If I break the commands down and run them one by one, when I do cat, I get the following:

sh: can't create /sdcard/Database.db: Permission denied

I also have both permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Any idea what's wrong?

@AlexP. want to move that to an answer to accept it? Not sure how I didn't stumble over that when looking for a solution. – Alex B Dec 29 '13 at 23:15
