It's pretty weird.
Is there anything else in the script between the lines you have typed? I mean could it be that the variable is not known when fireit is executed.

Why would not you run your script with options "xtrace' and 'verbose' to see what is really running:

ksh -xv myscript.ksh

Then you will see what argument was actually passed to fireit.
