The current working directory at this point ^ is /sbbs/ctrl, so a "cvs update -d text" would fail.

Also this "cd" command would fail. Try using full paths for your "cd" commands instead (e.g. cd /sbbs/exec).

It appears to have issues with current directory and "cd"ing with relative paths and missing a "cd" or two. If you specified pull paths on all your command-lines, you shouldn't need *any* cd commands.

That looks like it might almost be right if your home diretory (~) is in fact /sbbs. Is it?
