I'm trying to change a string based dconf key with a bash script, using the following command line:

dconf write /org/gnome/nautilus/preferences/show-directory-item-counts 'never'

But it return the following error:

error: 0-5:unknown keyword



Usage:

  dconf write KEY VALUE 



Write a new value to a key



Arguments:

  KEY         A key path (starting, but not ending with '/')

  VALUE       The value to write (in GVariant format)

Can someone help me?
