Immich-Go Can't Pause Immich Background Jobs

I’m trying to import a Google Takeout into a new installation of Immich (installed on a Synology NAS using Container Manager) using Immich-Go, but keep getting the following error:

Error: can't pause immich background jobs: pass an administrator key with the flag --admin-api-key or disable the jobs pausing with the flag --pause-immich-jobs=FALSE

I only have one account registered in Immich, which is the admin account. The api key was generated with all permissions. I tried using --pause-immich-jobs=FALSE as suggested, but it imports two photos and errors.

This is the command I’m using in Windows 11 terminal:

.\immich-go upload from-google-photos --server=http://my-server-ip:port/ --api-key=my-api-key-with-all-permissions --include-unmatched takeout-*.zip
