ExecuteSQL Fails from Variable

I am executing the following statement to setup a database:

IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE name = N'WTemplate')

BEGIN

ALTER DATABASE [WTemplate] SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

DROP DATABASE [WTemplate]

END

GO

CREATE DATABASE WTemplate ON PRIMARY

( NAME = N'WTemplate', FILENAME = N'D:\MSSQL\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\WTemplate.mdf' , SIZE = 2048KB , FILEGROWTH = 1024KB )

LOG ON

( NAME = N'WTemplate_log', FILENAME = N'D:\MSSQL\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\WTemplate_log.ldf' , SIZE = 1024KB , FILEGROWTH = 10%)

GO

EXEC dbo.sp_dbcmptlevel @.dbname=N'WTemplate', @.new_cmptlevel=90

GO

EXEC WTemplate.[dbo].[sp_fulltext_database] @.action = 'disable'

If this is formed inside a script task, assigned to a variable and then executed from the variable it fails. If I past it into the Execute SQL Task as a string it succeeds. Any ideas on where the difference may be? I have set a breakpoint and verified that the variable is being filled in correctly.

I get this error:

" failed with the following error: "Incorrect syntax near 'GO'.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

I suspect what is going on is that the \ in the paths need to be doubled. I did that and the problem appeared to go away.

Thanks,
