You missed the -m in the call, ipv6calc will print the options in machine 
readable form, just ready to use. Either remove sed or the -m.

I just tried a bit with the different combinations, and this gave me the best 
results when I used long options with a "=". I don't know _get_cword and 
_get_pword in detail, so I can't say anything about their correct usage.
