I've pondered this question myself, since even arriving fully laden, they would run out of supplies quickly.
On the other hand, the supply ships could purchase food and fuel directly from the Spanish, with money being sent overland from France for the job, and it's possible that torpedoes were also being "allowed" to be smuggled across.
After all Franco had some debts towards Germany
