Thanks for the answer! I found the problem was because I put the 2nd argument to Popen with Shell = true. Though I'm not sure why it doesn't work with Shell = true while the same setting works for other commands.
There's a long-outstanding bug when shell=True is passed to subprocess.Popen on Windows such that the rest of the line isn't quoted correctly (ie doesn't cope with special chars such as space, pipe and ampersand). In general, you almost never need to pass shell=True on Windows. The latest docs have just been updated with a patch I wrote to that effect, but it basically says: don't use shell=True unless you know you need to.
