Scripting application launch via ssh to linux

In XCode, I've created a build target that automatically uploads and
starts a new wo app revision with a shell script. Everything works
fine except for launching the new wo application. For some reason its
not exited cleanly. I know the app is launched because I can view it
through the browser. Still, XCode thinks its chugging along on a
script. I'm launching with the arguments provided in javamonitor.

artdb.woa/artdb -WOPort 2001 -WOCachingEnabled YES -WODebuggingEnabled
YES -WOOutputPath /home/mattkime/artbot-1 -WOAutoOpenInBrowser NO
-WOAutoOpenClientApplication NO -WOLifebeatInterval 30

artbot -WOMonitorEnabled YES -WONoPause YES -WODirectConnect YES
-DWOEnvClassPath=\'.:/usr/local/apple/Library/Java\' &

any ideas?

thanks,
