Simple answer :-). Should have no space between ckan:// and cow, i.e.
should be doing:

datapkg download ckan://cow {mydirectory-to-download-to}

However, there is a semi-bug in that rather than obviously error-ing
it was attempting to search with no name thereby getting pack a list
of all datasets. I have fixed this and pushed (though obviously this
fix is only in head at <http://github.com/okfn/datapkg>).
