[NTLUG:Discuss] bash Script help

I am having trouble getting a script to execute a script. When the 
parent script ends it should execute the last line of the script. It 
works all the way to the last echo and then just exits. Any help 
appreciated. I need to ship this system to the South Pacific next week.

Here is the script:
====================
#!/bin/bash
#clear
#/usr/local/apps/Wallpaper/set_bg /root/ViewCastWallpaper.bmp
clear
COUNT=10
echo 'Factory Restore will be performed if you no key is pressed in 10 
seconds...'
while [ $COUNT -gt 0 ]; do
     echo Factory Restore will be performed in $COUNT seconds..
     echo Press any key to abort!
     echo ' '
     read -sn 1 -t 1 Key

     echo $Key

#if [ $# -eq 2 ] ; then
if test  -z "$Key"; then
     echo no key pressed
     else
     exit 0
fi


     let COUNT=COUNT-1
     #sleep 1s
     clear
done

#perform the factory restore!
echo Factory Restore will start now!

./FactoryRestore.sh&
