Is this with the 4.1 SDK?  Or with a version based on 3.7?

Do you have IW or AR language packs installed? If no, the "-dir rtl" is required due to the changes in bug 303889.

Not sure whether this was a good idea. If the user explicitly chooses -nl ar then why would be ignore this? I can see the point when no command line argument is given.
