I don't know if this is the problem, but you may need to either 
declare a Process_Error handler (to grab standard error as well) 
or include "2>&1" in your EXEC program call at the end.

Also, if you're using WAIT anywhere in the rest of your program 
while the process is running, you may miss output (at least, 
that's happened to me.)  I meant to report it as a bug but I 
found some workaround I've now forgotten about.
