This is one of the keys! The option should be "--service all" - no
connecting hyphen (-) between the two. This tells the script to update
all of the Evergreen services in opensrf.xml that connect to a
database to use the parameters that you are passing at the command
line; or, if you don't pass a parameter at the command line, to use
the first corresponding value of that it finds in opensrf.xml.

So, when you pass "-- database evergreen", the extra space between the
"--" and "database" is enough to confuse the script, and it goes to
lookup the database name from the existing opensrf.xml file. Try
"--database evergreen" instead.

When you fix those two options in your command, things should be a lot better!
