What return code are you trying to capture?
What are you trying to capture in the log file? (What you have seems to want to capture the output from the echo commands, but not the output from the ls command.)
It would seem that:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

touch test.file

LOG=./tmp.log

echo "Hello world"  >${LOG}  2>&1

ls -ltr test.file

echo "Goodbye world"  >>${LOG}  2>&1

would be much simpler than what you're doing and produce the same results.
