I had the same problem but in in a different context. I'm not sure it it
will help, but try:
- replacing the \ by $ ('$$' instead of '\$')
- removing the \ before the $
- Each change above while enclosing the service list in single quotes
([...]
-l 'serv1,serv$$23,etc' [...])

As a last resort you could add a comma at the end of the list, so all
checks
will be performed but you will allways see something like ": Unknown".
Return status should be ok as well.

Good luck...

Thomas
