After testing the daemon method, which besides has also failed, i 
started from the beginning and reaxime the script on the server side. 
And naturally the error was much simpler than i thought ... the script 
didn't end with an exit 0 and  the last command returned with an error 
code. *doh* My script does work now.

Thanks for all the help,
