Ok, here's one of the hundreds of lines I've tested. The init-script
generates such lines directly from config-files (one for each plugin)

-------------------- snip --------------------------------------------

vdr --config=/etc/vdr --record=vdrreccmd --shutdown=vdrshutdown
--terminal=/dev/tty1 --watchdog=60 -P\"dxr3 \" -P\"control
--terminal=/dev/tty9 --port=2002 \" -P\"games \" -P\"mp3
--mount=mount.sh --cddb=/var/lib/cddb \"  -P\"mplayer --mount=mount.sh
--mplayer=mplayer.sh \" -P\"remote --tty /dev/tty10 \" -P\"vcd
--vcd=/dev/cdrom \"

-------------------- snap --------------------------------------------

I get error-messages like:

-------------------- snip --------------------------------------------

vdr: unrecognized option: '--mount=mount.sh'

-------------------- snap --------------------------------------------


It seems to be a parsing error which assigns the plugin-options to vdr
instead of plugin.


By the way I'd like to suggest to drop options on command-line and ask
the plugin-developers to put their option for starting up into a
config-file as command-line parsing gets to complicated (please consider
the string above is for seven plugins only!)
