Sir: The Run help says that on most operating systems you will get the text back, but not all. For example if you do this on OSX Run["/bin/date > /tmp/x"] you will find /tmp/x contains the date, so the command did run. So perhaps what you want to do is first run your command, then read in a file containing the result.
