[Gdal-dev] ogr2ogr Point not Point ZM

When I do:
ogr2ogr -update -append two.shp one -nln two one -nlt POINT

The appended file, which has no points to begin with(but is basically 
the same as the original with a couple of extra fields and the points 
removed) ends up with geometry of type POINT ZM(3D). I need it to simply 
be POINT(2D), no z or m values. ArcGIS software handles POINT and POINT 
ZM very  differently so they are two distinctly different options.

I thought I had solved it by adding the -nlt POINT portion but it turns 
out that didn't have any effect.

Whats really wierd is that I thought I had this working on a previous 
data set.

Anyone know anything about this?
