Hoshil,

   I cc'ed the list on this because someone else may recognize it.  

   I am unable to reproduce your token not found error.  I assume you have ImageMagick installed because renaming the convert command causes a command not found error.  Retyping variables incorrectly causes them to contain no data.  There is no explicit error message, although the output is messed up.  Changing the command shell from sh to all sorts of other stuff often messed up, but not with the token not found error.

   What happened when you typed ./mkJPEGdir on its own?  If you give it anything other than three operators, you should get a usage message.

   It is always possible that some kind of error crept in on your download.  Try saving the file again.
