I thought bash was everywhere on OS X --- although I don't have
pre-Leopard installs to verify my comment.  And I don't know if
this bash shell script was meant to be run on OS X systems, or
whether it was intended to be executed by non-OSX systems (e.g.
Linux, FreeBSD) with read/write access to OS X volumes.

Portability is a b*tch sometimes.  :)
