Nah, the ampersand is a special character when the command line is
parsed by the shell -- unless it's escaped or inside a quoting mechanism.
So, no space is needed.
Is the FactoryRestore.sh script file chmod'd +x (ie are the execute bits
turned on) ??? If not, it could be or just call the script with
sh ./FactoryRestore.sh&
