debugging mysqle -- anyone had success?

On the wiki, there are these instructions:

/usr/sbin/mysqld --default-storage-engine=MyISAM
- --defaults-file=`pwd`/my.cnf --datadir=`pwd`/mysqle --socket=`pwd`/sock
- --skip-grant-tables

But when I run it I get:

090315 10:06:44 [ERROR] mysqld: unknown variable
'defaults-file=/home/jeff/.kde/share/apps/amarok/my.cnf'


This is despite mysqld --help --verbose reporting:

- --defaults-file=#       Only read default options from the given file #

Although it says file number...not sure what that is.

Anyone had luck?
