What makes you think there should be one call given the code above? 
client.service.methodcall must be called for every loop iteration, so 
there's one call with criteria 'test' and one with 'Running'.  Note 
there's no guarantee that the calls will always take place in the same 
order.  Slight aside there's no need for the round brackets in the if 
and elif above.
