This problem I can explain; see below.

This one I'm not sure about.

The command line syntax does not let you just take an option in the
option file format and add a "-" to the front of it; each option has a
specific syntax on the command line.  In this case the "-t" is being
interpreted as the "trace" option and the entire rest of the option,
starting with "ls"... is being taken as the filename parameter to that
option.

The "Administrators Guide" (the PDF file) lists this option as having
no command-line equivalent, so you must use the separate configuration
file as seen below.

This alternative should work, I think; at least this one looks correct
to me.  What message if any do you get with this configuration?
