The -z test returns true if the variable being tested is unset. The fact
that DATABASE is getting the default value indicates that the script is
having problems reading your configuration file.
Are you mounting the floppy drive via autofs (or similar)? If not, are you
ensuring the floppy is mounted before the script gets run? What happens
if you run this script from the command line?
