savepnpc pstcmd "No commands specified to be run"

we have following setup for savepnpc:

[root@xxx logs]# cat ../res/linuxlist.res

type: savepnpc;

precmd: /usr/local/sbin/create_backup_list.sh 2>&1 | logger -t create_backup_list -s; test ${PIPESTATUS[0]} -eq 0

pstcmd: /usr/local/sbin/verify_backup.sh 2>&1 | logger -t verify_backup -s; test ${PIPESTATUS[0]} -eq 0

the precmd calls create_backup_list.sh to generate list of files need to be backed up.

the pstcmd calls verify_backup.sh to verify backup through mminfo.

the precmd runs successful, the pstcmd does not get called and from /nsr/logs/savepnpc.log, it shows:

04/06/17 12:39:00 preclntsave: Starting up the precmds.

04/06/17 12:46:03 preclntsave: All command(s) ran successfully.

04/06/17 12:47:03 pstclntsave: RAP query returned NULL worklist.

04/06/17 12:47:03 pstclntsave: All savesets on the worklist are done.

04/06/17 12:47:03 pstclntsave: Starting up the pstcmds.

04/06/17 12:47:03 pstclntsave: No commands specified to be run.

04/06/17 12:47:03 pstclntsave: Exited.

04/06/17 12:47:03 pstclntsave: Pstcmds completed. The group temp file and group precmd temp file deleted.

I could not figure out exactly where went wrong.
