Yeah, you'd think so.  When stuff like that happens to me, it's often that the environments are different -- I sometimes have things in my .profile or .bash_profile file that are not in my .bashrc file, so subshells are a bit different than the original shell.  Thus, for instance, it is conceiveable that there's a PBPASSWORD variable set in your .profile that isn't set in .bashrc, or something like that.

I will definitely have to look at that.  It has to be something like this since it was working until I had to mess with the setup to allow our devs to monitor the DB and backups from Jenkins.  Thanks for the help.
