Data ssh not ending (sometimes) from inside a script, why?

Okay I have this script file that runs from cron and most the time it works just find. Except every so often one of the three ssh commands I have in it just doesn't know it's done and that of course causes the whole thing to hang!

The ssh command has executed. I can tell this because the command is as follows

ssh username@hostname "ls /somedirectory" >somedir.file

and a new somedir.file has been created on the machine running the cron script.

Also, when this happens I can use the "kill sshprocessid" command and the cron script will continue, fat dumb and happy!

I figure there is a race condition of some kind going on for the end of command signal and once in awhile it gets missed but.... I just don't know where else to look....

Any ideas???

NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command] hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command] DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally. OPTIONS
