Q: Command Line failure

When submitting Compressor 4.1.3 jobs via the Command Line I often get "3x" errors which results in failure. Here's the command I'm submitting:

 

"/Applications/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor -jobpath " & SOURE FILE HERE & " -settingpath " & SETTING FILE HERE & " -locationpath " & OUTPUT LOCATION HERE --& " -resetBackgroundProcessing" & "  > /dev/null 2>&1 & echo"

 

A few notes...

 

1. The code is part of an Apple Script based app I've created, hence the missing code above (which is passed in via different variables).

2. The variables are being passed in correctly, because sometimes the batches work.

3. I originally thought somehow Compressor was getting "clogged", so I tried adding the "-resetBackgroundProcessing" command, which I found in the Apple Compressor Command Line documentation PDF, but this seems to have no effect.

 

The Compressor app works flawlessly, so it's only a Command Line problem at this point.

 

Any ideas?
