I take the shell text, copy and paste it in my terminal because I want to see where it bugs.
Is this wrong?

Something strange is happening when you do that. Text is being cut off. The code you show is not the code you're running. What I wanted you to do was add set -x to the top of your script below the #! line, run it, show the code in toto, and show the output in toto.

It doesn't even make sense to post that code by itself, anyway... Your terminal won't know what ${metadata} is, for example. Unless you're running everything and showing only the bit you think we "need". If you're doing that, show everything! You don't know what's relevant until its fixed.
