Using command line on Mac but the -source flag not working as described

I am trying to create a snapshot from my webcam using the command line options described here:

http://help.nchsoftware.com/help/en/debut/mac/help.pdf

I am running this in a Terminal window on the command line:

/Applications/Debut.app/Contents/MacOS/Debut -snapshot -source webcam -ms5000

It does open Debut and takes a snapshot of my desktop, it does not switch to the source webcam as specified. I have tried removing the space between -source and webcam but no success.

Using the Debut UI I can use the 'Capture Snapshot' option and it takes the image using the webcam, so I am unsure why the command line is not doing so.
