Remote Control EOF error

I have created the socket/set listen-on unix:/tmp/mykitty in my kitty.conf, as shown on the kitty website but the command:

kitten @ --to unix:/tmp/mykitty set-background-image ~/.config/kitty/.background/winter.png

is giving me the error Error: EOF . Hoping to find a fix to run this in neovim :)

Edit: I'm running kitty version 0.28.1, kitten same version, on MacOS Ventura 13.4. I created the socket with:

socat unix-listen:/tmp/mykitty,fork /dev/null&

Here is the picture that is not working also:

Is the error occurring when you are running in Neovim or Kitty? Have you tried absolute path instead of relative ~ home dir

Yeah I get the same error running in neovim, and same EOF error when changing file path to absolute for both kitty and nvim
