[plug] Parenthesis in shell script

[Euan de Kock]

Hi Garry,

Are you sure it's the rm command failing - this looks OK to me, and a
quick check locally using bash seems to support that.

Try moving them all on to different lines, so they are not dependent on
the success of the previous commands exit status.

Regards,

Euan.
