mpb foo=bar

is exactly equivalent to

(define foo bar)

So you initialize a the k-points array on the command line in exactly  
the same way as you initialize it in Scheme.  The only trick is that  
you have to quote things so that the shell won't get confused.  For  
example:

mpb k-points="(list (vector3 0 0.5))"

should work.  Note that k-points are a list, not a single vector, and  
that you must not have spaces around the "=" sign.
