    Any help would be apreciated -

    I followed this guide: https://docs.decred.org/getting-started/user-guides/linux/

    I'm stuck on step 1 of "Connect your wallet to the Decred network."

    I enter:
    ./dcrwallet -u [make a new wallet username] -P [make a new wallet password] --dcrdusername=[daemon username] --dcrdpassword=[daemon password]

    and the result is:
    10:33:57 2016-06-30 [INF] DCRW: Version 0.1.3-beta
    10:33:57 2016-06-30 [INF] RPCS: Listening on 127.0.0.1:9110
    10:33:57 2016-06-30 [INF] DCRW: Attempting RPC client connection to localhost:9109
    10:33:58 2016-06-30 [ERR] DCRW: invalid passphrase for master public key

    What am I doing wrong?

    That error indicates you created the wallet with a master public key (encryption) passphrase. In that case, you need to also include the public key passphrase with the --walletpass flag.

    Code:
      --walletpass:  The public wallet password -- Only required if
      the wallet was created with one
    
    I suggest reviewing step three in the creating your wallet section of the guide you linked. Particularly where it says:

    That linked tutorial says:
