You could help us help you by posting the code in its current form, exactly as you're using it. Tell us how you're calling the script. Add a line with 'set -x' at the top of the script (after any shebang line if any, such as #!/bin/sh). Post the resulting output and all error messages. Describe in full what occurred and how that differs from what you expected.

Otherwise, it's all just shots in the dark.

Regards,
Alister

Obviously, you'll want to obfuscate any sensitive info that you'd rather not share, such as usernames, passwords, hostnames, etc.
