It works for me - using a more recent version.

Do pay attention on the fact that you need one output option for every given
URL, so your single --remote-name only affects the first given URL. The other
URLs will be written to stdout.

I added two URLs in a config file and ran this command line just fine:

curl -K config -o out1 -o out2
