Try scrolling up -- if there's some kinds of errors, lilypond will
print an error message, and then give the --help message.  As a
result, the actual error mesage won't be visible on your screen.

I consider this sub-optimal behavior, but I haven't had the chance
to address it.

silly question -- do you have a file.ly in your current directory?
You need to create+save a file called "file.ly" before running the
above command.

You definitely *do* need to use full paths, but if you're getting
the --help message, then the problem isn't about the full path
to the lilypond binary.  I'm suspicious about a
"you-must-use-full-paths-to-ly-files" problem, though.
