OK. Here is a simpler view of directory (I hope) so all know what files are where:
Code:
nick@server ~$ cd ~
nick@server ~$ ls -R
.:
copy2.sh  test1  test1.md5  test2

./test1:
testfile1.jpg

./test2:
nick@server ~$ cd /hd1/home/nick
nick@server ~$ ls -R
.:
copy2.sh  test1  test1.md5  test2

./test1:
testfile1.jpg

./test2:

So you can see that my home directory is actually /hd1/home/nick
Inside my home folder there are two directories: test1, and test2
The "test1" folder has file in it.
The "test2" folder is empty.
I have a "test1.md5" file in my home directory that is empty (created with "touch test1.md5" command as one of my troubleshooting attempts).

And I made the modification (Adding set -x) to the copy2.sh
Code:
nick@server ~$ cat copy2.sh
#!/bin/bash
set -x

# The source directory where the photo folder on the phone is mirrored to
SRC=/hd1/home/nick/test1

# The destination directory where we want to copy only new photos we have copied before
DST=/hd1/home/nick/test2

# The MD5 list file that tracks which files we have copied before
MD5=/hd1/home/nick/test1.md5

# Check files against the MD5 list and then copy if not previously copied
# Then add the md5 for that file to the MD5 list
for f in $SRC/*
do
  FMD5=md5sum $f
  grep -q $FMD5 $MD5
  if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
    cp $SRC/$f $DST
    md5sum $f >> $MD5
  fi
done

And here is the new output.
Code:
nick@server ~$ ./copy2.sh
+ SRC=/hd1/home/nick/test1
+ DST=/hd1/home/nick/test2
+ MD5=/hd1/home/nick/test1.md5
+ for f in '$SRC/*'
+ FMD5=md5sum
+ /hd1/home/nick/test1/testfile1.jpg
./copy2.sh: line 17: /hd1/home/nick/test1/testfile1.jpg: Permission denied
+ grep -q /hd1/home/nick/test1.md5
^C
nick@server ~$

It stops there and I have to CTRL+C to stop it and get back to prompt.

Oh and the copy.sh vs copy2.sh issue, I don't know. Perhaps that was an errant keystroke on the delete key from me when typing up my post. Can't reproduce that.

installsieve

INSTALLSIEVE(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   INSTALLSIEVE(1)

 *

NAME

       installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts

SYNOPSIS

       installsieve

DESCRIPTION

       installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server.

OPTIONS

       -v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output.

       -l  List  all  of  the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active
       script.

       -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services.

       -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten.  Upon  sucessfully
       putting	the  script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since
       sieve names may not contain a '.'.

       -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option..

       -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>.

       -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen.

       -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already  exists  it	is
       overwritten.

       -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user.
