You forgot to call:
GNUNET_STRINGS_get_utf8_args (argc, argv,
                                    &argc, &argv)
without it the parsing will not actually happen ;).

FYI some flags are reserved and handled by GNUnet.
This includes "verbose", "config" etc. You can see what is reserved when you 
add no arguments and call --help.
See gnunet-ecc.c how it's done.

GNUnet always tries to load the system/user config file first. The config file 
you pass is used to override the default settings from that.
So if you did not actually install gnunet or don't have GNUNET_PREFIX setup, 
this might be the issue.
