dbms_scheduler executable job type

10.2.0.3 on RHEL 3 64-bit  

I have scheduled a job through dbms_scheduler to execute a shell script the performs a datapump export of the database. When the job is run, I can see from the datapump log that the export completes but the status of the job remains 'running'.  

Can anyone think of a reason for this? There is nothing in the script besides the call to datapump. The script runs fine when scheduled through cron.  

Thanks for any suggestions.
