thanks to all who replied! I was getting frustrated,  what I forgot to mention
was that the 'command' was run from a shell file, and when I tried it directly
it worked, so eval to the rescue, in my shell file now:
	eval "/usr/bin/time $cmd"
where cmd was built starting from
	cmd="MODULES_OVERRIDE=\"sis wlan ndis unionfs\""
thanks again,
	danny
