Well it turned out to be a combination of two problems.
1. I should not use the & at the end
2. the factory restore script needed to sudo. So I added the user to
sudoers with no password and prepended the call with sudo.
Now all I need to do is figure out how to do an "exit this dialog"
button. Any ideas?
