Seems that php doesn't catch the command end. If something doesn't work the way it should, ALWAYS blame YOURSELF first hand.. That's often where the problem lies (trust me on this one) ;) The '/k' switch means "execute the following command and stay in the command-line interpreter", the one you should use is '/c' =)
