Solved my problem. A bit more Google research pointed me in the right direction. It was the suexec feature of Apache 1.3.26 which was causing my scripts to abort. I didn't know to check the suexec.log which told me that the user directory which I wanted to have scritps run out of needed to protection set to world read-only.
