here is my code, i don't get an error but it returns null. the commands i'm running run a file transfer program and the file isn't getting uploaded.

declare @lb varchar(2)
set @lb = char(13) + char(10)
declare @command varchar(2000)
set @command = ''
set @command = @command + 'set statusbat=c:\temp\foo.bat' + @lb
set @command = @command + 'del %statusbat%' + @lb
set @command = @command + 'c:\program files\valicert\stclient\stclient.exe httpsu://www.securesite.com/ c:\inetpub\test.txt /progress /RemoveOnError /quitWhenDone /statusBAT %statusbat%' + @lb
set @command = @command + ':mainloop' + @lb
set @command = @command + 'if NOT EXIST %statusbat% goto mainloop' + @lb
set @command = @command + 'call %statusbat%' + @lb
set @command = @command + 'if NOT "%FileDriveStatus%"=="DONE" goto mainloop' + @lb
set @command = @command + 'echo done!!!!' + @lb
exec master..xp_cmdshell @command
