Daniel,

Thanks for the help, but I'm an idiot. The problem was that I misspelled
a switch ( --connect-time-out not --connect-timeout ). When I ran it
manualy, I eliminated that switch. That's where the stupidity came in...
I wasn't accurately recreating the automated situation.

Sorry for the bother.

Hans
