That seems a very long winded way round things! For your information
this is a batch script that I'm using for generating a PDF in pure
latex, and all I have to do is to cd to the directory where the
files are, and then just enter "pdfbuild" in the command-line. It
does all the rest itself, and you could easily adapt it for your
circumstances

It handles and generates the references, the glossary, and the index
as well as the body of the document. 

All you have to do is enter your "foo.tex" where foo is the name of
your generated tex file, and then let the script take over.
