Yes, because you are actually executing a shell command, not a system
command.

Why? I see no reason why 

  <command>rdesktop xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -u administrator -p xxxx&amp;xxxx</command>

should not work (It doesn't, since it leaves &amp; in the command
instead of substituting a & . However, using a single & makes the XML
parser barf.)
