Ugh, you are right, my mistake, it was a bug in my script that I was not
checking the correct return value (for those wondering, my bash script
was writing out a bash script that then got run, I forgot to escape the
"$?" properly, so it was being intrepreted when written out and not when
run.

So sorry for the noise, all is now working just fine.
