No such user!

Can someone tell me why, when I connect to the bot via dcc and try to add user using ".chattr <nick> +f", it says "No such user!", even the user is online. What's wrong?

Adding/removing users
There are three ways a user can be added to the bot. If you have learn-users
enabled in the config file, anyone can msg the hello command to the
bot and the bot will add them with the default flags (as set in the config
file's default-flags setting). Otherwise, you may add a user using
either the .adduser or .+user command in the console. If the
user you want to add is in one of the bot's channels, then .adduser
is the most convenient command. Make sure the channel the user is in is
your current console channel (read Using the
Console again if you're not sure about this), then type .adduser
<nick>, where <nick> is the nickname of the user you want
to add. The user will be added to the bot's userfile with the default
flags, and their hostmask will automatically be added. The .+user
command should be used when the person you want to add is not on IRC. Type
.+user <nick> <hostmask> to add the user with the
specified nickname and hostmask.
Once a user has been added, they will need to set a password using the pass
command. Tell the user to type /msg <botnick> pass
<password> to set their password. You may instead wish to set a
password for them using the .chpass command (explained below).
To remove a user from the bot, simply type .-user <handle>.

Thanks, DenisF. I must be blind, cause I was using the same site when I was setting up my bot.
