I have never used this startup flag, maybe it is not supported under osx?
I can only suggest to use another method to pass startup arguments for 
patches. I usually do this with textfiles. I find this useful especially 
when I develop patches for other people or if I want to use the patch in 
several locations, then people can have their own "settings" for the 
patch, and nothing is destroyed when I do more development on the patch 
inbetween.
I use textfile to read the file and spit it out on startup. and then do 
the settings from within the patch.
