When running exactly the same command, I get the same result. The reason
is that pdfsam has a certain expectation of the specification for the
output file (parameter '-o'). Using '-o ./pr01.pdf' (with a leading './'
to indicate that the file is to be created in the current directory) works:


    $ pdfsam-console -compressed -f page01.pdf -f page02.pdf -o
./pr01.pdf concat
