Other thing I get is messages on the command prompt that it doesn't recognize commands such as "--scan" or "-a"
That's right.
In that case, then, he needs to use the old ipodpatcher and also follow the old installation instructions. He is trying to use the old ipodpatcher with commands that are supported only by the newer version. The --scan command, for example, is only supported by the newer ipodpatcher, as far as I know.
