Do you have the following in your Makefile.am?  That prevents what
you're experiencing, or should:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Some of the smaller programs do not have --help or --version,
# make them exempt of the check for those.  NOTE: use this sparingly!
AM_INSTALLCHECK_STD_OPTIONS_EXEMPT = \
	extra/bin/mtn-cleanup 	extra/mtn-hooks/monotone-ciabot.py	\
	extra/mtn-hooks/monotone-mail-notify
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you don't have those lines, chances are your workspace isn't quite
up to date...
