I appreciate the help. I have the same problem from command line. It
turns out it is just this script. Other scripts run fine with the
absolute path. It is only this one script that says it can't be found if
I use an absolute path, but can be found if it is in the same directory
with a relative path (any other relative path fails as well "No such file
or directory"). The reqiuired script runs fine. The required script has a
couple do commands that use relative paths though. I wonder if those do
commands might need to be absolute so the require sees them. hmmmm
