Error converting thousands of documents with LibreOffice [closed]

I am trying to convert several thousand documents from LWP (Lotus Word Pro) to DOC. When the converting process gets to around 229 documents converted it just quits.
The terminal lines I am using to convert this are:
soffice --headless --convert-to doc --outdir /home/cyrex/work/biopsias/2007 *.lwp
or
libreoffice --headless --convert-to doc --outdir /home/cyrex/work/biopsias/2007 *.lwp
both work but up to 229. I have 60K documents to convert I doing them 200 at a time would take A LOT of time.
Converting them to ODT also has the same problem.
I have LibreOffice version 3.5 in Ubuntu 12.04
I think @w_whalley is right pointing to shell limitations. Another idea: does the conversion stop while working on a certain file? Or does the problem occur independent of the individual files to convert?
