Have you tried running from commandline to verify? From what I can tell maybe it's that you don't have a space between 2 of your switches and also a space after the "-" where there shouldn't be one. Not sure if that's the problem or not.

You have:

- triplebuffer-nowindow

Should be:

-triplebuffer -nowindow
