Selenim RC stuck when running a test suit via eclipse and Ant

Hi,

I am currently trying to run some automation
tests via selenium with testing thru eclipse, i start the test via an Ant . So I
have my test suite in tesNG.xml as follows

DOCTYPE suite
SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">

<suite name="TestCases">

<listeners>

<listener class-name="priority.PriorityInterceptor"
/>

listeners>

<parameter name="serverHost"
value="localhost" />

<parameter
name="browserURL" value="@@@@@@@@@@.com J" />

<parameter name="timeout"
value="30000" />

<parameter name="takeScreenshot"
value="false" />

<parameter name="htmlValidation"
value="false" />

<parameter name="takeErrorScreenshots"
value="false" />

<parameter name="dataset"
value="testdata/dataset.xml" />

<parameter name="username"
value="selenium" />

<parameter name="password"
value="selenium" />

<parameter name="picturesPathValidPictures"
value="testdata/pictures"/>

<parameter name="picturesPathInvalidPictures"
value="testdata/invalid_pictures"/>

<test name="IE7_method">

<parameter name="browserStartCommand"
value="*iehta"/>

name="maggietests.TeacherSmokeLogin">

name="maggietests.TeacherSmokeLogOut">

name="maggietests.TeacherSmokeDashboard">

test>

suite>

"

Now if I run any of the 3 tests individually ,
selenium RC starts opens IE runs the tests and then closes correctly. However
if I set multiple tests in my tests suite I have the following problem,
selenium RC starts up normally and my firsts test case is started but at some
command line usually at lines involving xpath or popup calls another selenium
RC window appears (the next test is
started ) and the previous RC window is stuck showing the last command run. Sometimes
up to 4 simultanious RC windows are started. I am new to selenium testing so there
might be some configuration mistake and if so I would appreciate any help I can
get on this issue J.

Note: I am
using the latest version of selenium RC and TestNG.
