getopts: bad option(s)

Hi,

I have a script that ran perfectly on Solaris 5.8
However after upgrade to Solaris 5.10 it started failing.
I invoke the script as below:
./TestScript3.ksh --dir $APP_DATA_IN_OLD $NDM_DATA/$NEXT_FILE
When i execute it i get the following error "getopts: dir bad option(s)".
Please let me know what has changed between Solaris 5.8 & Solaris 5.10 to cause this & how it can be fixed. I am a Newbie to Scripts.
The body of TestScript3.ksh is given below:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

USAGE="
Usage:  TestScript2 ( --about | --help | --usage | --version )
        TestScript2 [ --bzip ] [ -b|--bzip2] [ -c|--cycle cycles ] [ -d|--date ]
                   [ --dir dir ] [ -f|--force ] [ -g|--gzip ] [ -p|--pack ]
                   [ -s|--silent ] [ -t|--touch ] [ -z|--compress ]
                   file [file ...]
"
HELP="
Options:
        --about         Display information about the program.
        --help          Displays this message.
        --usage         Displays the program's usage.
        --version       Displays the program's version.
        --bzip
                Compress the cycled files with bzip.
        -b, --bzip2
                Compress the cycled files with bzip2.
        -c, --cycle cycles
                Keep 'cycles' number of cycled files. (Default is 3).
        -d, --date
                Append -YYYYMMDDHHMMSS to the cycled files where YYYY is the
                current year; MM is the current month; DD is the current day;
                HH is the current hour; MM is the current minute; and SS is the
                current second.
        --dir dir
                Specify the name of the directory for the cycled files to be
                shifted into.

                Errors will still be displayed.
        -t, --touch
                Create an empty file to replace the cycled file.
        -z, --compress
                Compress the cycled files with compress.
