One useful little shell scripting trick that I use for debugging is this...

At the beginning of the script, after the shebang (#!/bin/sh)... put this:

set -x
exec 2> /tmp/mydebugfile$$.out

And then you re-run the process that will trigger that shell script.  
This will send the -x output to the /tmp/mydebugfile<pid>.out file.  
Then you can open up that file and watch the script execution to see 
what the problem is.

Thanks,

Lee.
