Nope. But since you're running this on a very peculiar OS, I just can
guess that this very peculiar OS consider all args to be one same string...

Try this:
if __name__ == "__main__":
  for num, arg in enumerate(sys.argv):
     print "arg %d is %s" % (num, arg)

This should art least give you some hints...

BTW, isn't the DOS syntax for command line args something like :
> myprog /arg1 /arg2

???
