Unfortunately without a reproducible case, this is difficult to comment on.
What I can say is that sometimes I get the feeling that SQLCMD does not
relay all errors when there are many, but I have never investigate it.
But have I run into no errors at all, but still it's apparent that the
operation falied? When I think of it, I think I have, but I don't
recall the details. 

What's in your scripts? Loading of stored procedures and other
objects? Or something else? (In my case, it was most likely a stored
procedure.)
