To find out which command is causing the error, try one of the
following:

 1) Change the `set -e' to `set -e -x'.

 2) Use /usr/bin/zsh instead (in the #! line) and add the following
    lines before the set -e:

        emulate -R sh
        setopt printexitvalue

    bash doesn't seem to be able to do this.

  3) Type `echo $?' after pasting each command into the xterm, or run
     zsh in the xterm and use the commands above.
