old versions. now one to three args are ok.
from the code: (last version, I submitted)
if(argc < 7 || argc > 9)
{
fprintf(stderr,"FvwmAuto for fvwm-" VERSION " can use one to three arguments.\n");
exit(1);
}
so you must have an old version around.
maybe check your ModulePath (did you compile 2.0.45 locally and is
there a global path still in your ModulePath ?

No. it sends the command to fvwm for execution and fvwm2 isn't picky
at all (strcasecmp's)

mee too.

as I said: old version. (maybe check your ModulePath)
