So, please try "truss" command to trace echo on the step that your script is running.
Fore example :
$ truss sh ./backup.sh

Thanks for your time, really! I ran:

Code:

truss -o trussOut sh./backup.sh

I'm not completely sure how this truss command works, aside from its man page's explanation (and the output it produced is 241 lines of stuff that looks over my head) - I would paste it, but previewing my post with a paste of it is showing that it doesn't get its only scrolly frame and instead is HUGE. So i'm attaching it. Let me know if ANY one comes up with anything.

maybe someone can tell me that the way i'm going about my end product is ridiculous and I should be doing it differently?
