That did it!!! Thanks ramen_noodle
ramen_noodle,
I removed the \\'s from the argv entries at the beginning of the script and that seems to have fixed the problem. It's been a while since I wrote this script originally, but I believe I grabbed that syntax from a sample script I found online, so big ooops I guess.
Thanks for pointing out what I wasn't seeing, may much good karma come your way

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
