If you do this, then you at least also need to do this:

privilege exec level 5 skip-page-display

It means that it couldn't work out that it had run all the commands and 
successfully exited.  If the above line doesn't fix your problem, you'll 
need to run in debug mode and capture the session output in a .raw file to 
investigate where it is going wrong.

I think my flogin/francid are a bit hacked around, so I'd have to compare 
to see I have any other specific relevant changes to current releases of 
rancid.
