If there is a permission problem within the script commands, you can track it down by adding the parameter -x to the #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash line. That enables the logging of the commands executed by the shell script. Then you should be able to see which command fails and try to run that command as the vdr user from the shell prompt, optionally under strace to find out what is causing the permission problem.
