Netezza driver with direct mode would support --ctrl-chars option. Please make sure to use this option with preceeding --, like sqoop import --direct --connect jdbc:netezza://<netezza_host>:5480/db --username user -P --table table --targe-dir hdfsdir \ – --ctrl-chars --crin-string --ignore-zero --trunc-string options

Try stripping the command and use less options. Try and break it in to chunks to see where the problem is.
