Agh.  Sorry, I've been playing with the command a lot today, and I
don't know what the heck went wrong.  "-playlist" was there when I
started the day, dammit.  And I swear that it was there during some of
my tests with 1.0pre5.  But sometime, it was obviously eaten by the
laptop gremlin.

And everything inexplicably works now.  

I'm an idiot.  Thanks.
