You did not say earlier that you are using --tollef:

Don't use --tollef if you want --gnu. And you want --gnu if you use :::.
This might be caused by your distribution setting --tollef in
/etc/parallel/config. Complain to your distribution about this
behaviour, as the man page stresses:
Do not use --tollef unless you know what you are doing.
