Please don't top post, it messes up the reading. *friendly smile*

I have not read your script to see what's ksh spesific with your script.

But since you use #!/usr/bin/ksh (with a slash in the front) and it _is_
on the first line of the script we have to look elsewhere.

Are the two enviroments on different servers, and if so, on different
types of servers. Are you using different versions of ksh.
Are there problems related to $PATH?

To help you furter we need to see what happens in your home environment,
what happens in your production environment, and how that behaviour
differs from what you expect your script to do.

Try running your script with -v or -x to get some more debug
information.
