How about: (sorted by decreasing length)

'Number of supplied arguments does not match number of accepted arguments'

or

'This block accepts X arguments, but is called with Y arguements'

or

'This block needs to accept X arguments'

or

'This block is called with X arguments'

I think I now see that the intent of the error, had I read the method comment correctly, is that the block you have given doesn't expect any arguments.  I always read the error as you don't need any arguments for the operation, and you do, you need 1 - but only do: knows this.
