Thank you Peter, Paul and NC for your pointers. The space in the path
to the executable was causing the problems. I copied the application to
the root, eliminating any spaces in the path and it now works. So just
a couple of questions/observations

(1) Within the context of calling system commands....is this a general
problem, regardless of the application being called, ie....would I
encounter this in any and all calls using paths that contains spaces.

(2) Paul, you had mentioned that tryiing to escape the spaces in the
path names might help. Familiar with escaping...but not sure how you
would escape the space.

Anyway now works. This forum is great, thanks all for your timely
answers.

John
