trouble with create_newcase

Hello,  I am newer than a new user of CESM.  So, I have been following the User Guide and other web pages for version 1.2.1.  As I understand it, the first step is to run "new_case -l" or in some documents, "new_case -list" to get a listing of the machines in ccsm_utils/Machines.  However, I can not even accomplish this (seemingly) easy task.  I get the message:[rsheppar@h2 scripts]$ ./create_newcase -list
Option list requires an argument
SYNOPSIS
     create_newcase [options]

     User supplied values are....I can't see that I have gotten into this enough to have screwed something up yet.  I am just a generic physicist tasked with setting up CESM on the school supercomputers so the Geology/Geography Depts. can use it.  I am not sure this is actually a bug but it seemed the closest bin to put the post. I have no problem with it being relocated if that would be appropriate. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
