I think what's missing is a call to [handle closeFile]. From the 
NSFileHandle docs:

NSTask is IMHO kind of a bitch to use. I have a wrapper class I've 
been using for a few months, that I think I've finally gotten the 
kinks out of, but it's not in shape to give out yet (it won't build 
standalone.)
