What does this script look like?

You realize that the script will be executed with its working directory
set to shadm's $HOME, correct?

Most likely, you forgot to quote something properly.  In general, I
abhor the use of expr(1) in shell scripts.  Its only real purpose is
in writing legacy (pre-POSIX, pre-ksh) Bourne shell scripts.  There
are shell builtins that can do almost everything expr does, but faster
and cleaner.

I think the fact that you're sitting in $HOME instead of wherever you
expected to be is the most likely candidate for all three of these.

Sounds more like you need a few pointers in writing shell scripts.
