Perhaps because you didn't tell the interpreter to "Wait" for the command to finish before continuing on?

If you're simply trying to get the contents of "/etc/courier/authdaemonrc" for parsing, then why not just retrieve it into a 
string variable and then parse it without bothering with Process_Read()?

For example:
Exec ["cat", "/etc/courier/authdaemonrc"] to cadena
lineas = Split(cadena, gb.NewLine, "", True)
For a = 0 To lineas.max
   ...
Next
