can't read output from xine-remote

I have looked all over for the answer to this question.  I only see that 
others have ask but that no answer seems to be given.

I want to use xine-remote in a control script.  I can give commands like
xine-remote -c 'set audio volume 50'
from a script with out problem.  But when I try and read or get 
information, I get nothing. eg:
xine-remote -c 'get audio volume'
I do get an answer when I use xine-remote in its shell like form.

How can I get answers from xine-remote -c 'get <-some command->'?
