Second, don't use the shell array construct - do this instead:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

FPATH="$1"

printf "Parameter 1: %s\n" "$FPATH"
FPATH=`echo "$FPATH" | sed 's/^\[//; s/,/ /g; s/\]$//'`

for a in $FPATH
do
   a=`expr "$a" : 'u\(.*\)$'`
   printf "Printing Array: %s\n" "${a}"
done

Which shell are you using on AIX?
I suspect I may be doing something wrong !!

I must say this works fine even when invoked from Ansible, however I have tested this on a My personal Linux System.

I would only be able to test this on AIX after 4 days as we have long weekend.
