Kdialog scripting

I've used kdialog in the past in bash scripts but this one just will not work. Anyone care to enlighten me on why not?

pname=urlview #this will be replaced by a text input box for package to search for
 slapt-get --search ${pname} > temp

 let n=4
 let pn=0

 for f in `cat temp`
     do
         let n=$n+1
         if  [[ $n == 5 ]]; then
             let pn=$pn+1
             let n=1
             pkg[$pn]=$f
             echo ${pn} ${pkg[${pn}]}
         fi
     done

 let n=0

 IFS=$'\n'
 for f in `cat temp`
     do
         let n=$n+1
         line[$n]=$f
         echo $n ${line[${n}]}
     done


 for (( f=1; f<=$pn; f++ ))
     do
         RESULTS+='"'${pkg[${f}]}'"'" "'"'${line[${f}]}'"'" "off" "
     done

 echo kdialog --radiolist "Search Results" ${RESULTS}
 DISPLAY=":0.0" kdialog --radiolist "Search Results" ${RESULTS}


Basically everything works except the last kdialog. If I copy the echoed results to command line it does work, just not from within the script and there are no error messages etc.
