Commands from the Learn Spanish Grammar Section

Hi,
I just took a quiz on the Learn Grammar section for commands. You were supposed to conjugate the sentences into a command. I had a question about one of them.
- Por favor, (Uds. -sentarse)
My answer: Sientense
They marked it wrong and put: se sienten.
Are both answers right? I thought you could add the pronouns to the end of your verb with affirmative commands? I just want to make sure im on the right track!

Yes that's fine, you're just missing the accent to preserve the stress 
¡Siéntense!
In fact I would go so far as to say that their example is incorrect, as far as I understand, in positive commands the pronoun 'must' be attached to the end of the command form and vice versa for the negative commands.

That´s my belief too, and though a newb, I DID just finish that section in class. - rogspax, May 10, 2012
También yo creo que Siéntense es correcto. Acabo de estudiarlo en mi clase. - rogspax, May 10, 2012

It should be siéntense and not se sienten or anything else.
