The two servers are for different customers. I would not want to create

file to my non-root account (while root), chown it, copy it to my
workstation then to the other server, where I'd move it to /root, that's
a lot more work than cat, copy, paste, save.
Again, the method I used should not have created any changes in the
script that would affect its operation. And to date I've seen no
indication that it did. I still don't know why the script was leaving
the quotes in nor why it started working.
You might want to consider ssh-agent and SSH agent forwarding. These
allow you to access your version control server over SSH from remote
hosts by using your workstation credentials; no credentials required on
the remote host:
