To be honest we are expecting --scale to be used with a float number 
(ex: 0.5 or 1.1), but not with a negative number, so there might be a 
parsing problem regarding this in Lame (I'll try to check it).

Regarding your situation, I'd suggest you to try first an encoding 
without specifying the output sampling rate. This will let Lame choose 
it based on the target bitrate and its own knowledge of its compression 
abilities.
As an example, in mono and targetting 24kbps, current Lame version would 
choose to use a sampling rate of 16kHz, which will probably sound better 
than 22kHz.
