In case of problems we always recommend gettting
http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008/update-tlmgr-latest.exe
and running it.

After that please run 
	tlmgr update --all

It could be that --help does not work due to the fact that you have
another perl installation which creates problems here. We are working on
that.

Best wishes

TRISPEN (n.) A form of intelligent grass. It grows a single, tough
stalk and makes its home on lawns. When it sees the lawnmower coming
it lies down and pops up again after it has gone by.
