It didnt work, in fact even with a shorter script that used to work it failed. Im generating the script from within a java program, maybe there is some problem with quoting characters it is very difficult to tell because Applescript appears very sensitive to whitespace never mind control chars. Im going to try writing the script to a file and then using osascript on the file, that should at least remove the quoting of shell characters problem. Sound like a good idea ?

Yes. Whitespace is not normally a problem but writing the script to a file will enable you to analyze any quoting problems. Another potential area for errors is dealing with return values if they are not text, and sometimes re-activation problems for the original sender.
