wow-that worked! I tried that in the past with another speech and didn't like 16 kHz sampling but with this mp3 it works fine. I dropped the re-sampling spec and the r switch and kept it mono:
lame -m m -b 24 --mp3input original.mp3 compressed.mp3 Thanks for all the help!

To be honest we are expecting --scale to be used with a float number (ex: 0.5 or 1.1), but not with a negative number, so there might be a parsing problem regarding this in Lame (I'll try to check it). Regarding your situation, I'd suggest you to try first an encoding without specifying the output sampling rate. This will let Lame choose it based on the target bitrate and its own knowledge of its compression abilities. As an example, in mono and targetting 24kbps, current Lame version would choose to use a sampling rate of 16kHz, which will probably sound better than 22kHz.
