Your command line seems.. not correct.
I can confirm that 1.0.17, when run without arguments, gives the same error message you are seeing.
The newer version of logstash should have better output. In the meantime, you'll want to run logstash like:
java -jar logstash-1.0.17.jar agent -f path/to/logstash.conf
This will tell logstash to run the agent with the given config file.
Steps:
Download monolithic jar from logstash.net
Run 'java -jar logstash-1.0.17-monolithic.jar'
Output:
Environment:
java version "1.6.0_29"
OS X Lion 10.7.2
