Which Cobbler version is this?  I think I recall a bug about the wrong 
parameter being passed to that but can't remember right now.

Let me know what version (rpm -q cobbler) and I'll take a look.

Cobbler has pretty good automated tests for nearly everything /but/ the 
command line flags now.   Sorry about that, we'll take care of it.
