 Looks like you need to escape the "&" or put " " between the variables.
 Just a guess.

 Like
 /usr/local/bin/pdatranscode /video 1036_20061010144800.mpg Law \& Order

 and
 /usr/local/bin/pdatranscode /video 1036_20061010144800.mpg "Law & Order"

 or "&" will tell sh to run it in the backround...
