Have you tried those commands? In general, Bacula will use command line
arguments before it prompts, but because the command line interface is
really a "debug" tool, it has grown a bit chaotically and so needs a
redesign (a lot of work) but in the mean time, it is easy to overlook a
place where a command line argument would be handy.
If it does work, it would help if you submitted an update to the doc.
If it doesn't work, please submit a feature request. I would be happy to
implement it.

No, so as mentioned above any doc help would be appreciated.
