[argyllcms] The -N option doesn't work for my Eye One Pro? Can anyone help me figure out why?

dispcal -N, according to the documentation is suppposed to allow one to
skip the calibration step.   But it seems to have no effect with my Eye
One Pro.

Perhaps I am missing something, so please let me know if there is some
special order in which I have to do it.   In my case
dispcal -r followed by dispcal -N -r produce exactly the same set of
instructions, requiring me to calibrate each time.  This can get time
consuming.

If I am doing it right, can anyone suggest a method to firgure out why
it isn't working?  Is there any information I can provide that would
help.

The -v option gives the following data about my unit.

$ dispcal -v3 -r

Place cap on the instrument, or place in on a dark surface,
or place on the white calibration reference,
 and then hit any key to continue,
 or hit Esc, ^C or Q to abort:

I called Xrite about the possibility of having them check it, but they
told me that if I ran their diagnostic (under their Windows program) and
it said the unit was okay, it didn't need adjustment.    It passed.
