See the port range specification very carefully:

murray ~ # nmap -p 3200-3005 some_target

QUITTING!

Ports have BEEN specified, but incorrectly. It was very quick to spot the problem (I typed 3005
instead of 3205, thus the "range" was invalid), but as i had just compiled out of fresh svn, I first
thought "weird, a bug, -p IS there". Maybe a clearer error message?
