If you add to your preferences file a line such as

    ls_payload_display_len: 20

you get a warning such as

    Syntax error in preference ls_payload_display_len (applying your
preferences once should remove this warning)

If you run Wireshark/TShark with a command line option such as

    -o ls_payload_display_len:80

you get an error such as

    tshark: Invalid -o flag "ls_payload_display_len:80"

which, as per

   
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17757659/how-to-apply-and-override-preferences-with-tshark

can fail to indicate that the problem is that there's no such preference as
"ls_payload_display_len".  (The lack of a "module." in the name should not be
viewed as a syntax error, if that's what's happening here.)
