Yup, already set.

incoming is where I originally put them and they are now there again.

Ah-ha! ***I*** was right! Look:
for j in `pwd`/updates/${pkg}-[a-zA-Z0-9]*.deb; do

and:

for j in $archive/cache/archives/${pkg}-[a-zA-Z0-9]*.deb; do

Changing the "-" to a "_" now get's me past that.

Here is where I get stuck now:
---cut-here---
+ '[' -f modules.tgz ']'
+ error 'attempted to grab a kernel module from unlocatable modules
tarball, neither modules.tgz nor modules.tgz'
+ echo E: attempted to grab a kernel module from unlocatable modules
tarball, neither modules.tgz nor modules.tgz
E: attempted to grab a kernel module from unlocatable modules tarball,

+ exit -1
+ '[' -1 -ne 0 ']'

E: ./rootdisk.sh abort

Thanks to everyone who has helped so far!
