Run script seems to work ok, unless I send arguments.  Here is how I'm calling
it:

run_script("backup.sh", ["/path/argument", "/usu/bin/gzip"])

it is tossing a "failed to EXEC "scripts/backups.sh", bad address."

It works fine if I leave out the args.

This brings something else to mind.  What is the "root" directory in it's
environment?  Does it run backups.sh from scripts (so I would do somethign
along the lines of 'mv ../textdump' or does it do it from where it dumps the
textdump?
