This client picks up values by default or from environment variables. So it can 
work without any command line paramters. The issue here is that environment 
variables being empty is not being checked. I have committed a fix for that to 
trunk and globus_4_0_branch.

So while you will see a help message only when you do a -help, you should see a 
better error about missing arguments when run with no command line arguments.

Thanks Rachana!  Please updated the target.  I assume it is 4.0.1?
