Description of problem: USB flash drive automounted width kde as /media/BACKUP. The following works fine invoked from the command line as root: cp -fvr /disk /media/BACKUP When invoked as a script, where the above is the only line in the script file: ./script cp reports each file as being copied, but doesn't actually do it. Files are not copied, and timestamps of existing files do not change on the destination. There are two usb flash devices with the same volume name to allow rotation of backups. Both mount normally, and work fine with cp from the command line.

Are you running the script from the same context as you ran the command line? I.e. instead of 'cp ...' you are running './script'? What about when you run '. ./script' (i.e. ". " in front)?
