interbird, please change:

#!/bin/sh

to

#!/bin/bash

in the script. That's the problem. You are telling the system to interpret the script using sh which on Ubuntu is a symlink to dash which does not support all of bash's features. (I learnt that the hard way.) pushd and popd are bash built-ins. They are not separate commands to be installed on the system.

BTW what do you need tcl for?

BBTW: even with changing sh to bash, I am getting a running display of:

cpio: Malformed number
cpio: Malformed number
cpio: Malformed number
cpio: Malformed number

which I have to manually terminate. Did you check this on your own system before uploading?
