Can you provide more detail on what it is/is not doing, and output from the logfile? What happens when you run the pieces individually from the command line?

One thing I can tell you is that your test at the end of $? will always be false, ie equal to zero, because the previous command is echo which would
have to be all sorts of messed up to error.

On your issue, I agree with thesnow that without knowing 'what you wanted' it will be difficult to diagnose the issue.
