assumed you type the commands at the expect prompt:

if you do a plain [expect] after enough time had passed
i.e. ssh has started and is requesting a password:
the result would be "Password: "
(expect with no arguments returns all characters received
upto this moment.)

you would type "exp_send <a password>\r" and if the password
you typed is correct with the next call to expect
you should get confirmation of login and all the stuff
the commands you gave with the initial spawn should return.

to make a long text into a short statemaent:

what you tried should have worked perfectly.
There is some other error you made.
