Read the caveat at the end of the sed man page: "The use of semicolons to separate multiple commands is not permitted for the following commands: a, b, c, i, r, t, w, :, and #." Either use newlines instead of semicolons, or give each line of the script separately with the -e option. For example, instead of sed 's/a/b/ ; t ; s/c/d/' use sed -e 's/a/b/' -e 't' -e 's/c/d/'
