I thought that (condition) || ELSECASE || ELSECASE2 doesnt work.
To me, this line looks like that but tries to achieve something diffrent..
Code:
[ -f ${LOGFILE} ] || touch ${LOGFILE} || error "unable to create the logfile '${LOGFILE}'"

If file doesnt exist you want to create it, and if creation fails print the message, either way, my linux doesnt know the command 'error'.

If that is true, i'd change to:
Code:
[ ! -f ${LOGFILE} ] && (touch ${LOGFILE} || error "unable to create the logfile '${LOGFILE}'")

Note the (), wich executes the code in a 'subshell' and it wont report "unable to create file" if file already exists.

Either way, if touch cant create a file, it'll report itself...
Example: (changed error to echo)
Code:
[sea@localhost ~]$ LOGFILE=/root/log
[sea@localhost ~]$ [ ! -f ${LOGFILE} ] && (touch ${LOGFILE} || echo "unable to create the logfile '${LOGFILE}'")
touch: cannot touch '/root/log': Permission denied
unable to create the logfile '/root/log'

Hope this helps

EDIT:
Also, your EOFtp misses the 2nd entry which closes the command.
But i assume that's a copy-paste error Smilie
