Neither do I, but yes, it is a multi-share backup. "edrive" is done
first, which is 100G or so of images and then "cdrive" is done...

well, neither was the literal text host.sh or hostname.sh. I use a
different scrpt for each host, but didn't want to show my actual
hostname being referred to, so I made it generic....

I'm not sure, I know very little about screen, I really just copied the
scripts from somewhere else. Perhaps screen can't quit if the ssh
command is still running ?
Perhaps the fact that this still works for me might also be why I seem
to get hanging bash/ssh processes on the remote side.

I might give your suggestion a try, but I'm not sure it will help...
