I cannot replicate that failure (I get a password prompt).
Are you invoking it from a Cygwin shell, or from CMD.exe (or COMMAND.COM?).
You might want to escape the @ sign, since under certain circumstances it's special (i.e., it's a extended shell argument processing syntax meant to allow arguments contained in files to be incorporated into the command line).
