Ok.

Could be. I'm using %*. I've attached the batch file I've been using, it
does a load of other stuff like get cvs as well. You might want to put
it in contrib? 

Although it looks correct to me:

<<<<
Z:\Temp\slave>buildbot slave --force . localhost:8007 myslave pwd
BB: Running buildbot...
chdir Z:\Temp\slave
mktap buildbot slave --basedir Z:\Temp\slave --master localhost:8007
--name myslave --passwd pwd

<<whole load of depration errors removed>>

Option --passwd requires argument
mktap failed, bailing..

It seems pretty clear how it is TBH. "slave" to create slave and
"master" for master, then "start" for either.
