Thanks for the suggestion -- I tried that with /bin/bash -c (since I don't
have ksh installed) but it didn't make a difference.  Also, if it helps at
all, cfagent -f ./cf.rsync-mirror produces the following output:

cfengine::./cf.rsync-mirror:29: Warning: Redefinition of macro 
cpu_info=[[:space:]]\+\(.*\)/\1 (or perhaps missing quote)
cfengine::./cf.rsync-mirror:29: Warning: Redefinition of macro cpu_info=x (or 
perhaps missing quote)
cfengine::./cf.rsync-mirror:29: Warning: Redefinition of macro cpu_info=\2/'") 
(or perhaps missing quote)

So I agree that the pipe symbol is probably the cause of the problem, but I'm 
not sure how best to fix it.
