Rob,

Try adding a statement at the beginning of the update script that will store
the environment that script is running in. In Linux with a bash shell this
line would look like:

        printenv > /tmp/updates-f-prot.env

Then run the printenv command in the interactive shell that runs the command
correctly:

        printenv > /tmp/ok-shell.evn

then

        diff    /tmp/updates-f-prot.env /tmp/ok-shell.evn

And you should see a hint on why one is working and the other command is
not.
