Simple Custom XML Plugin with Embedded Script

Hey,

HQ Version: 5.8.1

I have created a simple XML plugin and embedded a bash shell script within it following some hyperic documentation examples.  I load the plugin into HQ using the Plugin Manager -> Add/Update Plugin(s).  It successfully deploys to a majority of my agents and I can see the script deploy under the pdk/work/scripts/<plugin_name> folder.  I can run the script manually from the server and get the desired output.  However, after adding the service to a platform within hyperic the plugin never reports metrics.  I have tried not embedding the script within the plugin and manually placing the script under pdk/scripts/ folder and metrics were pulled back successfully.  I would like to use the xml embedded script method for the convenience of not deploying the script to each server.

Thanks
