This works for me. Maybe there's a problem with your "clj" script.

I get this:
$ clj /tmp/args.clj one two "three three three" four
"one"
"two"
"three three three"
"four"
Does this work for you?
(doseq [arg *command-line-args*]
(prn arg))
And this?
(ns args
(:use clojure.contrib.command-line))
(with-command-line ["one" "two two" "three"]
"args -- test of args"
[filenames]
(doseq [filename filenames]
(prn filename)))
My clj script basically does this:
java -server -cp "${CLASSPATH}" clojure.main "${script}" "$@"
The quotes are necessary around the $@, otherwise you will get the
symptoms you are seeing.

That's the old syntax for doseq, so I suspect nobody remembered to
update the example.
