 How to create new asset version? (RAM v7.5.3.1)


Say I have an asset in RAM:  "Book" version: "1.0"  and I want to create a new version of that asset, I can use the createAssetNewVersion() operation.  Problem is, I get an asset not found exception

RAMSession session = new RAMSession(url, user, pass);
RAMAsset oldBook = session.getAsset(new AssetIdentification("{GUID}","1.0"); // my book asset
RAMAsset newBook = session.createAssetNewVersion(oldBook, "2.0", new RAMStatusMonitor()); // new book        
newBook.setName("Fine New Book");
session.put(newBook, new NullProgressMonitor());

The code above causes an AssetNotFoundException to be thrown.  What must I do do create a new version of an asset with the RAM Java API?

This is the output:
