Are you using the -h argument? My quick scan of the man page (and a
foggy memory) seem to indicate that is a necessary step when using it in
a script. You might want to check the archives (as you should before
sending a report of this type anyway :) and see if you can find
something more concrete. I'm almost sure this has come up before.
