I'm also interested to know because I can't get it to work.
I also have an empty string. Moreover, you can't use WithProperties to 
construct
a single string for the command (which leads the buildbot to execute 
that string
through sh instead of doing an execve, this has the advantage that environment
variables are available in the form $HOME and tild expansion and other shell
expansions also occur).
