Montage is shrinking my images

I have eight 1600x1200 images that I want to combine into a 4x2 montage at
full size.  The man page for montage, and the examples I found online, all
seem to agree that it won't scale if you don't ask it to, but I'm getting a
tiny image as output.  What am I doing wrong?

I've tried various combinations of options, but nothing seems to work.  Any
thoughts?  This is ImageMagick 6.5.8 installed via MacPorts on Mac OS X
10.6.3.
