Dunno why you are doing it this way so let me ask. Why are you not using the scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}?? The IP address of the connection is passed to the scripts on login. So you are guaranteed to get a good IP. If this is not useful for some reason contact me and I can get your script working.
