Ok....issue resolved.

for some stupid reason, the O/S could not execute the script....even though 
permissions were set to 777, tested, 775, tested, 755, tested, 750, 
tested.....blah.....tested.

I copied back the original script and added my TWO lines of code to echo the 
NBU arguments out to files....and it worked. (shaking head in total 
bewilderment).  [Rolling Eyes]
