and it breaks with the error

Code:
[jim ~/www/htdocs/curl/replicate]$ ./zzmaster.sh
./zzmaster.sh: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
[jim ~/www/htdocs/curl/replicate]$

Why?

You have an incomplete command.

The control operator && expects another command to follow it, to be executed if the first command completes successfully, e.g.:

Code:
cd $HOME/whatever && echo Success || echo Failed

The command after the || operator is executed if a previous command failed.

sleep 20
sh /home/jim/www/htdocs/curl/replicate/znocc0.sh &&
sh /home/jim/www/htdocs/curl/replicate/znocc1.sh &&

&& does not put jobs into the background. The keyword to do that is &.
