Again, it looks that you all have an issue with the script's runtime environment.
Please make sure that the script is executable and being run with a user that has the relevant access.

Don't remember if script was loaded directly from the scheduler or via .sh but if 2nd case it have been chmod. And root in my case and case of @nexttoyou.
No issue from the other script where I found your comment.
Regards.

Just look at the script, every single paths are fully qualified. The script doesn't assume that you run it from a specific directory. Again it's just a matter of runtime environment and user permissions.
