Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Where's the 'ping' command 
coming from???
Any other suggestions on how to do this?

Since having two stations use the same IP address is a very hard situation to debug, as packets will randomly find their way to either of the stations, dhclient does a very sensible thing and before using a stored address in the case no DHCP server answers, it makes an attempt to ping the address it is going to use in an effort to try and detect if someone is already using it.

In your case this backfires as it seems the 'ping' command format it is trying to use is somehow not compatible with your 'ping' command.

Hope this helps,
Gilad
