I'm certainly no bash-scripting expert, in fact I have done none of it, but it 
seems to me it is running the line after the 'fi' command where it starts 
with the opening bracket, as though it was a command. This doesn't seem to be 
its intended behaviour. However I can't suggest how to fix it though, because 
I don't know how 'if' or 'case' commands are constructed in bash. Someone in 
the group must know bash scripting tho...
