Train from Monaco to Portofino

Hi all

Looking to book a train from Monaco (Monte Carlo) to Santa Margherita Ligure (nearest train stop to Portofino Italy) for June 19th 2011.

According to TGV Europe, the 1017 train with a couple of stops is already booked out, the 1417 isnt
However I find this hard to believe since no trains are even listed yet on TrenItalia.com
Furthermore, supposedly these regional trains cant be booked online, only up to 7 days prior to departure.
Bahn.de doesnt let me book online either

Does anyone know the best way to get the train that I want? Looking for the 1017 one

Thanks

Two weeks ago I did this trip in the opposite direction. You will change trains at Ventimiglia and Genova PP. The segment between Santa Margherita and Genova requires a reservation. When you arrive at SML, you can take a taxi (expensive) or take the bus (CHEAP) to Portofino. Such a beautiful area. It never fails to take my breath away, even after numerous visits to this area.
