Finally getting around to installing the OTA, I think I'm using adb incorrectly...

I'm following the guide at http://solo.dc3.com/dinc/ and I'm on step 2 where you move all of the crapware back to /system/app. I made the mistake of deleting the apps instead of moving them, so I re-downloaded them from http://www.chadhaney.com/droidIncDefault/ (both the apps and the odex files). I followed all of the instructions under step 2 for moving the files back, but none of them show up in /system/app after rebooting the phone. Since I'm copying the files from my computer to the phone, the command I used was
Code:
adb push C:\path\to\file \system\app
and it seemed to work (I didn't get any errors). Is there something I'm missing?

Whenever I push something, I put the file in the Android SDK - Tools folder, then run the adb push command. EX) adb push Gmail.apk /system/app/

That way you aren't having to type out the path to the file. Also make sure that when you are in recovery, you mount /system first, then run the adb push command.
