Steve, thanks. I am finally back in my environment looking for the problem-syntax based on your feedback. I found nothing that matches "key= <space>" or "-k <space>".

I don't see the error anymore. Perhaps a coworker addressed it.

Actually, I misspoke. In the name=vale portion, it didn't find the '=' where
one was expected. Since it mentions '-k', you might be mixing watch syntax
with syscall syntax. -k keyname is valid with watches. For syscalls its -F
key=keyname.
