I typically use -cifti-separate for this sort of thing (see example below), but 
I haven't worked much with dconn.nii files.  If it works for dconn also, then 
-metric (func.gii) out seems like a better fit than -label (label.gii), but "I 
don't know" is the honest answer.

I think you just need -cifti-separate, e.g.:

InputCifti=MyData.32k_fs_LR.dscalar.nii
OutputLH=MyData.L.32k_fs_LR.func.gii
OutputRH= MyData.R.32k_fs_LR.func.gii
wb_command -cifti-separate $InputCifti COLUMN -metric CORTEX_LEFT $OutputLH 
-metric CORTEX_RIGHT $OutputRH

Could be your actual command line didn't have input or output extensions 
wb_command expected.
