Saxon ignoring output directory params

[Mike <fromlists@talkingspider.com>]

I can't, for the life of me, get saxon to output anywhere but the local 
directory. Reading the docs, I found three different params for 
specifying the output directory, none of which work.

The "-o" method, (from the saxon usage prompt), which it ignores:

java -cp 
"/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/extensions/saxon65.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/saxondamnit/saxon.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/xslthl-2.0.1.jar" 
\
-Dhighlight.source=1 \
-Dxslthl.config="file:///www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/highlighters/xslthl-config.xml" 
\
com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -o /www/mfsite/docbook/wefw ./text.xml 
/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/html/chunkohp.xsl

The output-root method (from the sagehill book), which it ignores:

java -cp 
"/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/extensions/saxon65.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/saxondamnit/saxon.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/xslthl-2.0.1.jar" 
-Dhighlight.source=1 
-Dxslthl.config="file:///www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/highlighters/xslthl-config.xml" 
com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet ./text.xml 
/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/html/chunkohp.xsl 
output-root=/www/mfsite/docbook/

The dir= method, which it ignores:

java -cp 
"/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/extensions/saxon65.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/saxondamnit/saxon.jar:/www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/xslthl-2.0.1.jar" 
-Dhighlight.source=1 
-Dxslthl.config="file:///www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/highlighters/xslthl-config.xml" 
com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet ./text.xml 
/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/html/chunkohp.xsl 
dir=/www/mfsite/docbook/

It just always outputs locally.
