Obviously this is more proof of my lack of understanding bash, but
googling hasn't revealed a solution, so any help is appreciated...
replace the braces {} with parenthesis ().
braces do many interesting things in bash such as sequences {1..10} and
delimiting variables ${INSERT_VAR_NAME_HERE} but you want to group
several commands and run them in a subshell, parenthesis does that.
Crap, figured it would be something simple...
Thanks Alan...
