Note that "--register" must be spelled exactly like that in order for
this to work.  I suggest you add this just after the "if __name__"
statement:
    from pprint import pprint
    pprint( sys.argv )

That, at least, will let you see exactly what the parameters are.

Yes, but it's the registration that's failing, right?  You won't ever be
able to start the object if it isn't registered.

Well, that might be a problem if registration succeeded but you were
unable to instantiate it.  As I understand it, your problem is happening
much earlier than that.  Are you running this as an administrative user?
