Is the syntax on in the manual for automated backups correct?

Here is the command in Cron;

echo -e 'submitted=1\n&compress=1\n&path=/usr/fudforum/backup/fud_'`date +\%Y\%m\%d`'.gz' | 
lynx http://www.ccgworkshop.com/forum/adm/admdump.php?do_http_auth=1 -auth=<username>:<pass> -post_data

This is the output from the Cron job:

To use it on a command line you need to edit the script and uncomment the lines documented with in-code comments to make it usable as a command line app.

After I posted the last message I did a search on cron on this forum and found that as well.

I edited admdump.php so the pertinant section looks like this

	// uncomment the lines below if you wish to run this script via command line
	fud_use('adm_cli.inc', 1); // this contains cli_execute() function.
	// when using this the script accepts 2 arguments
	// php admdump.php /path/to/dump_file [compress]
	// compress is optional and should only be specified if you want to datadump to be compressed

	/* check for cli arguments */
	if (defined('forum_debug')) {
		if (empty($_SERVER['argv'][1])) {
			exit("Usage: php admdump.php /path/to/dump_file [compress]\n");
		}
		$_POST['submitted'] = 1;
		$_POST['path'] = $_SERVER['argv'][1];
		if (!empty($_SERVER['argv'][2])) {
			$_POST['compress'] = 1;
		}
	}

however when I run it from the command line here is the output:

php admdump.php
Status: 302
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.4
P3P: CP="ALL CUR OUR IND UNI ONL INT CNT STA"

Location: http://www.ccgworkshop.com/forum/adm/admloginuser.php?S=e49b4bb0261edc194505c6aa942a4393

Due to the lack of parameters it should have kicked back and error message. So what am I missing?
