this is a known bug in pd-0.41 fixed in 0.42

the problem is the way Pd is started on osx in order to make it a nice
and proper osx app, the "main" application has to be the GUI.
so when you start Pd from terminal, it will actually not start but
instead launch Pd-gui which fires up Pd (this time for real).
since this is so complicated, all arguments get lost.

however, you should be able to do:
/Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -nogui
~/pd/externals/incr/incr-help.pd
