The PATH shell variable has a very special meaning in any shell based on Bourne shell syntax. It is used to specify a list of directory that will be searched to find utilities that are being executed by your script when the commands used to execute those utilities do not you absolute pathnames.

So when you execute the command:
Code:
PATH=$1

on line 8 in your script, you create a problem that causes your script to fail 36 lines later. Choose a different variable name and change your script to consistently use that revised variable name.
