May I suggest that you use -o instead of redirecting with > ? If you do that,
curl won't produce any file at all in case of failure. You should also
consider storing/outputting the error code from the curl command, if not for
your own sake, at least for debugging this problem.

I suspect that curl has failed here, and the zero byte file is because it
never performed any transfer.

Another, more data-generating thing to do to track this down would be to add
--trace [file] to each command line, as then we could analyze the trace files
afterwards for the transfers that failed.
