I do not post solutions unless they work:
tty3 jrd@frodo:/tmp/jrd$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-rw-r--. 1 jrd jrd 0 Apr 2 16:14 --silly-file-name
tty3 jrd@frodo:/tmp/jrd$ rm -- --silly-file-name
rm: remove regular empty file `--silly-file-name'? y
tty3 jrd@frodo:/tmp/jrd$ ls
tty3 jrd@frodo:/tmp/jrd$
What shell are you using? Perhaps that is interfering.
