Which version of sox, on what OS?
Did you build the sox binary yourself or download it from somewhere?

Although you say the command was just

   sox vocals.wav vocals.mp3

sox can also incorporate values of environment variables.  Is there any
chance that on your OS the command has included any other parameters?
See the 'SOX_OPTS' section of the manual.


If you reissue the command, as eg

   sox -V3 vocals.wav vocals002.mp3

(or even -V4 or more) do any of the info messsages give any clues?  Is 
the
result file the same size as your one?

You'll need to be more precise.  What sort of "not work"?   Does sox 
run?
Does it produce any messages?  Is there a result file?  How long was it?
