Which release of HBase are you using ?
I tried your command on 0.98 :
hbase(main):002:0> create 'testtable',{NAME => 'cf1', SPLITS =>
['row10','row20']}
Unknown argument ignored for column family cf1: SPLITS
0 row(s) in 0.3780 seconds
=> Hbase::Table - testtable
hbase(main):003:0> describe 'testtable'
DESCRIPTION
