If that does not solve the problem, please post the output from the following commands after blotting anything confidential like email addresses with X's.
The "sed" command is designed to make end-of line characters visible.
Is this command valid for every value of $i ?

cd $i
Though I don't often read "csh", this looks like a character compare not a numeric compare:

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
