dear trevor,
just looking at the tanak of the jewish publication society, because
they're pretty good about following the tiberian reading, and also the
sense is only really clear with "do it with all your might", and sure
enough: do it with all your might......
it's true that initially it looks like the accents are at variance. but
I'm not so sure, because there're a lot of adjustments coming into a D0,
in this case athnah, many of which we're still working on understanding,
and also there is funny business around imperatives to boot. I'll ask
around here and see if anyone can give an explanation that can have it
both ways. ;-)

good question.
cheers
V
