Maybe your issue is related to a specific OS and/or bash versions Smilie
I didn't realize that the OS or bash version could cause such an issue.
Anyhow the OS is
# uname -a
Linux sport 2.6.11.4-21.17-default #1 Fri Apr 6 08:42:34 UTC 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

And the bash version is
# bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release (i586-suse-linux)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
and the bash version is

If anyone knows of a cause for this problem I would appreciate help.

Thanks again

NAME
rbash - restricted bash, see bash(1) RESTRICTED SHELL
If bash is started with the name rbash, or the -r option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted. A restricted shell is used to set up an environment more controlled than the standard shell. It behaves identically to bash with the exception that the follow- ing are disallowed or not performed: o changing directories with cd o setting or unsetting the values of SHELL, PATH, ENV, or BASH_ENV o specifying command names containing / o specifying a file name containing a / as an argument to the . builtin command o specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the -p option to the hash builtin command o importing function definitions from the shell environment at startup o parsing the value of SHELLOPTS from the shell environment at startup o redirecting output using the >, >|, <>, >&, &>, and >> redirection operators o using the exec builtin command to replace the shell with another command o adding or deleting builtin commands with the -f and -d options to the enable builtin command o using the enable builtin command to enable disabled shell builtins o specifying the -p option to the command builtin command o turning off restricted mode with set +r or set +o restricted. These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read. When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed, rbash turns off any restrictions in the shell spawned to execute the script. SEE ALSO
