That's a bug in ancient versions of rabbitmqadmin. You need to use 
rabbitmqadmin from RabbitMQ 2.8.0 or later.

If you can't easily upgrade your server, you can get the latest 
rabbitmqadmin from:

http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-management/raw-file/default/bin/rabbitmqadmin

Of course you'll need to specify --port 55672 when connecting to 2.x 
servers.

Depends on the value of the "requeue" parameter.

Cheers, Simon
