Does any one or more parameter have a whitespace in it not contained inside quotes?

If so perhaps this is the reason. Without much more info like:-

1) OS in use.
2) Shell version in use.
3) A little more of your code to give us more insight as to what is going on.
4) Anything else that might be useful.

We can't give you much more help.
