While I did not read the documentation I did try your code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding : utf -8 -*-
# file: 'test'
"""Usage: test [new_data | text_entry FILE | show_data ] [-hdv]
[--db=DATABASE] [--tb=TABLE]

-h --help       show this
-d --debug      show debugging statements
-v --verbose    shows table when not absolutely necessary.
--db DATABASE   specify database file to use [default: ./uwomeds68.db]
--tb TABLE      specify table to use [default: matesTb]
"""

from docopt import docopt

cl_args = docopt(__doc__, version='testing v0.1')
print "Arguments in effect (from <docopt>):"
print(cl_args)
print "-------------------------------"
print
(docopt)$ ./test show_data
Arguments in effect (from <docopt>):
{'--db': './uwomeds68.db',
 '--debug': False,
 '--help': False,
 '--tb': 'matesTb',
 '--verbose': False,
 'FILE': None,
 'new_data': False,
 'show_data': True,
 'text_entry': False}

So over here it works as you expected -- perhaps you need a newer version of
docopt? I have

(docopt)$ python -c 'import docopt; print docopt.__version__'
0.6.1



Can you tell me please on which system you ran this?
I am running Linux (Ubuntu12.04) and a friend who also runs Linux (I've yet to find out which flavour) got the same result as did I, so I am beginning to think it might be OS dependent.
thks.
