Yep.  More than likely one of the two following conditions is your problem:
1) there isn't a carriage return after the final convert, or
2) there is a bunch of white space after the final convert

To put it in Perl terms, the line that terminates the string must be
exactly the line that would be produced by the perl code:
    print "convert\n";
