Then this is calling something, that is finally ending up
trying to execute "anaconda-ks.cfg".
And looks like line one.

I suggest putting some "echo" lines in it, and see where it fails.
ie

echo "I AM HERE...."

and keep moving the line down in the logic.

BTW.....you get the same error when you run it manually too, right?
