This implies to me that OUTPWS is set to "default = ssh://jtc-hg.hursley.ibm.com//home/hg/jtchg-ibm-adm/composite/80/jcl/head" which is probably happening as a result of an empty $OUTPWS being passed to:

hg path $OUTPWS 2>/dev/null | $FILTER

Can you capture the script output for this portion of the execution?
