Try this:
exec("convert picture.jpg -font Arial-Bold -pointsize 20 -fill red -gravity southeast
-draw \"text 10,10 'my text to add to picture'\" text-overlay.jpg");
That SHOULD work; if it doesn't, put \' isntead of ' as well.
" is more friendly about escaping things than ' is :-) ' is for litteral
things and doesn't work very well with stuff inside it.
Also be sure the problem isn't somewhere further up in your code, too.
It's possible you left a dangler somewhere ;-)
