i3statusbar conky replaces json

Hi,

I got a pretty strange issue, which I can't find a solution for. I'm using conky in the i3statusbar, but somehow, some of the json in the conky file gets replaced by conky when it's run.

.conky-i3

out_to_x no
out_to_console yes
short_units yes
update_interval 1
max_text_width 0

I'm using a wrapper script which is executed from the i3config

#!/bin/sh

# Send the header so that i3bar knows we want to use JSON:
echo '{"version":1}'

# Begin the endless array.
echo '['

# We send an empty first array of blocks to make the loop simpler:
echo '[],'

# Now send blocks with information forever:
exec conky -c $HOME/.conky-i3

The output from running the script:

{"version":1}

            "separator": false
        }
    ]
],

As you can see in the output above, Conky have inserted the uptime inside another json string
{"full_text": "490.00",18m 18s","color":"#EEEEEE","separator":false}

How can this be?
