I don't think that's the exact command line you used, because without quotes the shell's going to interpret the '?' character as a wildcard. Could you post the exact command line? (Also, could you show what the startkey and endkey expand to? I'm not good at doing URL-unescaping in my head.) —Jens PS: I've found that the 'httpie' tool saves a lot of sanity when sending command-line requests to CouchDB. It's similar to curl but a lot friendlier, and makes it very easy to add custom queries and JSON body properties without doing a ton of quoting.
