Nathan beat me to it.
But the other "odd" thing is the sai_logger at the end of the pmlogger
control line.
My guess is this was an attempt at naming the archive, but
pmlogger_check generates the archive name automagically (it is a date
and time stamp) ... so I think that explains the usage message, the lack
of a pmlogger.log file, no archive, etc.
If I use the same control line, I get the same error!
So
1. change the -T1min to -t1min (or drop it entirely and move the logging
intervals into the pmlogger config file where you can choose appropriate
and possibly different intervals per group of metrics)
2. drop the sai_logger at the end of the control line
