Actually it looks like the problem is that you have an old Xvnc on your 
path.  Make sure that the version 4 Xvnc is on your path first.

In fact all the parameters are case-insensitive and you can use any of
the forms -<param> <value> <param>=<value> -<param>=<value> or 
--<param>=<value> so what Daniel typed would have worked were he using 
version 4 Xvnc.
