for loop syntax problem in iostat script on solaris

bash-3.00# ./test.sh 100 10
./test.sh: syntax error at line 6: `(' unexpected
bash-3.00# cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
start=0
end=$1
interval=$2
iostat -xnpr > disk_iostats.csv
for (( start=0; $start<=$end; start=$(($start+$interval)) ))
do
sleep $interval
iostat -xnpr | grep -v device >> disk_iostats.csv
done
bash-3.00#


Hello Experts, i'm stuck with some silly problme here with for, not sure where i'm doing wrong. can somebody point me my mistake in the above script?
:: two arguments i'm taking are end (which tels how many secs to run) and interval (which tells the interval of every run of iostat)


the above script runs fine on linux but not on solaris!?

Thanks for your time.

NAME
iostat - report I/O statistics SYNOPSIS
iostat [ drives ] [ interval [ count ] ] DESCRIPTION
Iostat iteratively reports the number of characters read and written to terminals per second, and, for each disk, the number of transfers per second, kilobytes transferred per second, and the milliseconds per average seek. It also gives the percentage of time the system has spent in user mode, in user mode running low priority (niced) processes, in system mode, and idling. To compute this information, for each disk, seeks and data transfer completions and number of words transferred are counted; for terminals collectively, the number of input and output characters are counted. Also, each sixtieth of a second, the state of each disk is examined and a tally is made if the disk is active. From these numbers and given the transfer rates of the devices it is possible to determine average seek times for each device. The optional interval argument causes iostat to report once each interval seconds. The first report is for all time since a reboot and each subsequent report is for the last interval only. The optional count argument restricts the number of reports. If more than 4 disk drives are configured in the system, iostat displays only the first 4 drives, with priority given to Massbus disk drives (i.e. if both Unibus and Massbus drives are present and the total number of drives exceeds 4, then some number of Unibus drives will not be displayed in favor of the Massbus drives). To force iostat to display specific drives, their names may be supplied on the command line. FILES
