Well, isn't it going to be because sh and zsh are different shells with
different syntax and commands and rules about quoting and escaping?

Hmmm. Peculiar. Both bash (which is what you get for sh under cygwin) and
zsh understand the -x option, which prints out each line of script as you
execute it. Try modifying the first line to each of "#!/usr/bin/zsh -x" and
#!/usr/bin/sh -x" and running it that way; it should let you see what actual
args are getting passed to tsreader.
