is this really the sav-linux-5-i386  install.sh ??
i doubt because "-v -d"  are invalid command-line options.

[sophos-av]# ll ../sav-linux-5-i386.tgz

iirc  "/usr/local/Sophos/"  is created from MS Sophos.install and i 
would not install sav in this directory.

on-access does not work, the talpa modules are the problem.
