What version of scs2ascii do you use? There is a better one in the CVS the
one that comes with 0.16.3 has a bug in scs_avpp as it does not update the
cursor position. (See Sourceforge BUG-Tracker)

If you want to so some debuging, scs2ascii writes anything it does to stderr,
so outputcommand='scs2ascii 1>/tmp/output$$ 2>/tmp/log$$' should give you
some valueable information as well.
