Yes, I think it is the problem.  I think you may be misinterpreting  
ProgramArguments.   My understanding (and experience from using this  
is in the past) is that they are the name of one program and its  
arguments individually separated.  You can't run a sequence of  
commands from a launchd item, but of course you can start a script  
that has a sequence of commands in it.

So if you want to run

aProgram -c filename 123

You would use something like:

	<key>ProgramArguments</key>
	<array>
		<string>/full/path/to/aProgram</string>
		<string>-c</string>
		<string>filename</string>
		<string>123</string>
	</array>

ProgramArgument is like the array of strings from the command-line  
that are passed into a running application (e.g. argv).

So probably good to put your two commands into a script, or even just  
run the fah5-local command with arguments (unless you really need to  
change to the directory, is there a directory argument?).

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ashley.
