Good luck!  Your problem here is really tcsh.  The only advice I can
give you is "never write scripts in csh", and that goes for tcsh as well.

I went so far as to verify that it works for me on NetBSD if I use, for
example, bash.  I wouldn't waste a second trying to figure out what's
wrong with tcsh or how it can be fixed, seriously.
