[plug] script error

[Jon Miller]

I'm including the latest error and the code, what I'm not getting is while the function is not being called
gateway:/home/jlmiller# ./mailadd.sh test
du: `/db/mail/test': No such file or directory
FileA = test 4
FileB = test 64
FileA and FileB differ.
./mailadd.sh: line 36: chngacct: command not found

echo "FileB = $1 $fileB"

# check if file A and fileB are the same or different
# if same recreate account
# if different move file to temp area
if [ $fileA == $fileB ] 
then 
  echo "FileA and FileB are identical."
  recreate                 # function call
else
  echo "FileA and FileB differ."
