Starting sixad from QtSixA is broken

When clicking Tasks > Root Actions > Force Connection (which is supposed to fire up the sixad service), I get the message:

>The sixad driver has now been forced to start.
>You should be able to connect your devices with no problem now
(but please note that bluetooth is not workable for anything else in this mode, so you should stop sixad when you need to do something else)

However, sixad is NOT running, and if you run QtSixA from the terminal you will see it spit to stdout the help message from sixad (indicating that it was run with incorrect command-line parameters).
