OK, it seems you have to somehow "know" the magic hex identifier tacked onto

No, you can use the path to the profile directory if you don't have the profile ID. C.f. the quoted documentation.
If you still want the profile ID, you can get it from the messages emitted when you start JMRI:
[java] 13:07:24,492 apps.Apps INFO - Starting with profile Dispatch_Work_in_Progress.3f79267a [main]

Yes, this works, but I am thinking it *should* be possible for JMRI to figure
this out and allow a "simplified profile ID" on the command line. Firefox (for
example) manages to do this. So, it should be doable in JMRI. The GUI uses
the simplified profile ID, which would be the "obvious" thing to use on the
command line, but appearently not. Which is counter intutitive.
