I guess you are running an old version of ddrescue. The online manual is
for version 1.18. The change was announced here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ddrescue/2014-06/msg00011.html
* The long name of option "-r" has been changed to "--retry-passes" to
make it clear that ddrescue tries each sector only once per retry pass.
Thanks for developing and maintaining this excellent tool. One lady thought
she had lost all her photos of her son growing up, but ddrescue recovered
everything.
My pleasure. I hope she has now made a couple of backups.
Best regards,
Antonio.
