gmirror label -h does nothing?

I'm trying to create a mirrored filesystem with gmirror and partitions that have gpart labels on them.  I can create the mirror, but the gpt labels don't appear in gmirror status.  Instead I see the device names.  Looking around it seems the -h option is supposed to resolve that problem and use/show the gpt labels.  However, when I run with -h nothing happens.  The system waits a bit and my prompt returns, but gmirror status shows nothing has been created.  Adding -v to the commend doesn't show anything going wrong either.  It just shows:

Done.

Am I doing something wrong?  Does -h not work anymore?
