argus-client 3.0 rc 56 and -t flag

Hey ScottO,
The issue was that the characters that we were using were reverse
what you were using.  instead of 's' for seconds, I had changed them
to conform to the strftime() conventions, which makes it 'S' for seconds.
But after looking into it some more, I changed them back.  It didn't
really make much common sense (should minimize use of upper case),
and the historic and current documentation was using lower case for
all the time brackets, except month.

I'll put new clients software up tonight that supports the documented
strategies, which are now:
   "yMdhms" for year,Month,day,hour,minute,seconds

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Carter
