With the caveat that I'm no expert on the command line stuff, I'm pretty
sure that the commands provided by svcadmin are defined using a
Selector, defined in Admin.getCommandSelector. The only command
currently provided by svcadmin is "initialize". Perhaps you're omitting
the command? That is, perhaps you're doing 
	svcadmin sqlserver:stellation <username> <password>
instead of:
	svcadmin initialize sqlserver:stellation <username> <password>.


(I know it looks a little odd that it's got all the mechanics of command
selection when there's only one command, but the intention is that
eventually the admin command will be used for invoking other
administrators operations, like backup/restore, etc. So the framework is
there for future expansion.)
