It looks like there has been an issue for a while where the --help flag doesn't work on all commands. More recently, the --format flag has been added, and that appears to suffer from the same problem.
For some of the commands, it's easy to see why would be the case (set/show/describe), but I'm also seeing the same issue with an application-defined command (riak-admin cluster status), so I suspect there might be more than one thing that needs to be fixed here.
