Have you tried turning on Active Link logging? It may show you whats wrong.
Also, what I look to do in situations like this is take the task back to simple steps. Forget about the remote call to the server. Just create a simple batch file that creates a text file in the calling directory. Something like this: echo Hello World > test.txt. That way you can figure out more clearly where your program is not working. Also, this type of logic is better suited for filters than active links. What will happen if your active link does run and calls the remote program but then a filter runs that stops the submit/modify process for whatever reason. Your ALink will then run again which may pose a problem.
