Let me start by noting that if I use the GUI, I have absolutely no issues with the hardware setup I am using. I have been actively using this setup for several months to update early prototype hardware. Using V13.45.
Because I have the desire to preserve 1 page of flash on an LPC5516, I cannot use the GUI to update without several separate manual steps. The GUI allows me to chose to erase device or sectors used by program being flashed. My issue is that I want to preserve the last page in a sector. Yes, I can do this with extra manual steps, but I was hoping to automate to speed the process & make it less error prone. Thus I opted to try the command line with a command file.
The commands I initiate first erase sectors 0-5 and then pages 384-446. No issue.
I then initiate the programming step with fm --device="LPC5516" -b57600 --serialport=COM4 --crystalfreq=12 --t1=50 --t2=120 --commandfile="D:\LEDSwitchApp\projects\LEDSwitchApp\LPC551\programAppImage.cmd"
command file is:
--program=D:\LEDSwitchApp\projects\LEDSwitchApp\LPC551\bin\LEDSwitchApp_bootAndApp.hex
The programming starts & consistently fails as follows:

ERROR: Executing '--program="D:\LEDSwitchApp\projects\LEDSwitchApp\LPC551\bin\LEDSwitchApp_bootAndApp.hex"'
ERROR: Operation Failed. (programming - failed to send data to the device)
It seems that if I perform a full erase followed by programming, no error results.
Ideas?
