I do not even know what language rtmpdump is written in. I wonder if the script is expecting user input such as a password, this would cause it to freeze from within gambas as no input will ever come Another possiblity is it produces heaps and heaps of output that can't fit into the sOutput buffer, again programme becomes blocked because it can't write.
Do you need sOutput? what happens if you run without this, just a plain EXEC? In this case you might see errors or something come up in the gambas terminal window which goves you a clue as to what's going on. the other thing to do (which you may have already done of course) is to run the exact command that gambas EXEC does in a gnome terminal, in the same current directory as your gambas programme would be in, and see what happens.
