Can you give us a sketch of your script, like:

        #!/bin/bash
        <some variable settings>
        pushd <some working directory>
        # here the Java code starts with:
                <a cup of hot Java?>
        # the Java function to read:
        ...
        # Here the Java code ends:
        <code>
        <shell code>
        # Final statement:
        ...
        <shell script ends here with a newline>

Actual lines and line numbers (shell-command-on-region with pr -n - 
l9999) won't be bad. Maybe it's possible from seeing the code to see  
a design flaw or the actual cause ... Could be a log from your  
*shell* can provide further information.

You can also invoke your script as

        bash -x ./script.name

or put a line

        set -x

near the beginning (line #2ff) into it to see bash execute the lines.  
This might give additional insight.
