Please post a minimal script that shows the problem.  This one has loads
of irrelevant guff.

If you're using the function 'file', it seems best not to have a
variable by that name also.

It will be easier to see what's going on if you show a smaller script
that does nothing unrelated to the problem behaviour.  More than likely,
you'll see the cause of the problem yourself that way.
