The problems I've seen so far:
1) The creation of the FILESYSTEMS variable doesn't seem to be 'sticking'. The variable is getting properly created, but it doesn't seem to be visible outside the routine that creates it:
# set -x # cat /proc/filesystems | > while read FS ; do > case $FS in > nodev*) continue ;; > esac > FILESYSTEMS="$FILESYSTEMS $FS" > done ; echo $FILESYSTEMS
<snip>
This is a problem with nearly all ksh and sh variants. It goes something like this:
for .... ; do VAR=xxxx done ; echo $VAR
and VAR does not retain its value.
(Surprise! I'm still around....)
Glad to here it!

Reading up on this, it's the pipe that's doing me in. It causes the while to be run in a seperate process. There are alternate forms that get around this problem, ie:
while ... ... done << EOF $(cat /proc/filesystems) EOF
