Did you try adding double quotes like I suggested?

Maybe it would be better to run the whole thing through Perl. Preserving whitespace in shell scripts is tricky.

Code:
perl -0777 -ne 'BEGIN { chdir "$ENV{CLARIFY_DIR}/rulemanager" || die "Could not cd: $!\n"; }
s/<\s+/</g; s/\s+>\s*/>/g; 1 while s/(<[^\s<>]+)\s+/$1/;
while (m%(<documents>.*?</documents>)%sg) {
  system qq{echo ./cbbatch -f ../jobs/dms/DMS_Integration.cbs -r ParseXML -as "<DMS>$1</DMS>"}
};' $readyDir/$fileName

I put in the echo for testing; if the output looks okay, take it out.

If the input really all needs to be on one line, add "s/\n//g" somewhere near the beginning.

Question How about in C
Those requirements can't be handled by the shell, sed or awk. Maybe perl can do the job or else try doing it in C.
