I've fixed this. I believe it should be:
<pre>$ nix show-derivation 'nixpkgs.hello'</pre>
This works for me whereas using '#' produced the same error L0b0 reported.

The first example doesn't work

$ nix show-derivation 'nixpkgs#hello'
error: don't know what to do with argument 'nixpkgs#hello'
Try 'nix --help' for more information.
