on_motion_end not working

Question

Hi I'm trying to get my motion run a script once the video file has been created. I installed motion according to this: http://elinux.org/RPi-Cam-Web-Interface

My line in the motion.conf looks like this: on_movie_end /etc/motion/rsync.sh Permissions are set to execute and the ownership was given to www-data, which is running the entire thing. I can run the script successfully as that user.

It works fine with on_picture_save, although it's running multiple instances of the script depending on the amount of pictures saved.

Cron is a bad idea because it might upload (what the script does) the movie when not done. I want the script to be run as soon as possible, because it's a surveillance camera. The script looks like this: http://pastebin.com/4M8syX36

I couldn't get any debug logging to run so that I can see what happens when the script is executed. Hope you can help me out here!
