I think Ken's solution will work, however I think that you could alternately - without changing your shell command - send it to an application that you don't care to be unresponsive. For instance you could make a stay-open applet, say "LengthyTasksServer.app" and do:
--------------- untested
tell app "LengthyTasksServer.app"
with timeout of 86400 -- 24 hours
do shell script [etc]
end
end
---------------
