pdfnup ignores ~/.pdfjam.conf

[Paul <Paul dot Domaskis at gmail dot com>]

I'm using pdfjam that comes with 64-bit cygwin's
texlive-collection-binextra package, dated 29 May 2013.  I have the
following in my ~/.pdfjam.conf: 

   paper='letterpaper' 
   nup='1x2' 
   landscape='landscape' 
   frame='true' 

I invoke pdfjam using 

   pdfnup filename.pdf 

and the messages show that the ~/.pdfjam.conf is being read, as are 
the switches therein. 

  pdfjam: This is pdfjam version 2.08. 
  pdfjam: Reading any site-wide or user-specific defaults... 
              ## 
              ## From /home/User.Name/.pdfjam.conf: 
              ## 
              paper='letterpaper' 
              nup='1x2' 
              landscape='landscape' 
              frame='true' 
  pdfjam: Effective call for this run of pdfjam: 
          /bin/pdfjam --suffix nup --nup '2x1'
             --landscape -- filename.pdf - 
  pdfjam: Calling pdflatex... 
  pdfjam: Finished.  Output was to
             '/home/User.Name/tmp/filename-nup.pdf'. 

The "Effective call" above shows that ~/.pdfjam.conf is being ignored, 
even though the switch settings are being read.  The output confirms 
this.  However, if I specify the switch settings in the pdfnup 
statement itself, they are accepted. 

What am I doing wrong in setting up ~/.pdfjam.conf? 

If all is correct, does anyone else see this problem? 

P.S. In a corporate environment, updating packages is problematic.
