HI -

Yup, no error file is even generated.

---------- Post updated at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous update was at 12:45 PM ----------

Found the issue,

It should be
Code:
trap "[ -s ${_EF} ] || rm -f ${_EF} ] && rmdir ${_ARC_EP}" EXIT

I changed _ARC_EF to -ARC_EP. My fault! Thank you all for your help! Sorry for the bother!
