Yes, you did, but you are also not taking into account process inheritance. When you pipe a command, subprocesses are being created and I suspected the path isn't being properly inherited. When you use the the shell to execute your command, you are re-establishing the path. So I'll ammend my original statement to say that it appears your PATH doesn't include the directory for my-shell-script in the process that is trying to exec your script and/or exec isn't using the path you think it is. It has been some time since I dealt with this, but only global variables are inherited, which some shells require you to use export or setenv to designate, and some shells require PATH to be exported and others don't.
