Always remember that paths are a common cause for scripting to fail.

Someone does some experimenting with a command line, and works out
something that works for them.  Then they put the command line into a
script, or other automation, and it doesn't work.  It's because the
path was different in their command line interface than elsewhere.

It's *often* best to use the full path when you're not typing commands
directly into a command line.
