Your problem is:

	: modified to save another day's LOGFILE

If you replace this line with

	: "modified to save another day's LOGFILE"

or
	
	# modified to save another day's LOGFILE

it should work fine. The problem is that sh parses comment lines starting with
a ":" (don't ask me why...) and waits for the closing "'".
