build.sh in the netbsd-1-6 branch does not use that syntax.
You have to use
	./build.sh -t

build.sh in the netbsd-1-6 branch does not support that syntax.
You'll have to manually configure a kernel with $TOOLDIR/bin/nbconfig
(or /usr/sbin/config; config shouldn't have changed on the 1.6 branch)
and build it with make.

That document is for "updating to netbsd-current", not "updating to
most recent netbsd-1-6".

There have been suggestions to make netbsd-1-6's build.sh work how
netbsd-current's does, but if that does occur, it won't be in time
for NetBSD 1.6.1.
