It definitely matters. chflags is not supported by NFS.

But I have no idea why and where chflags is performed. I suspect it's 
mv(1) doing that, but I should check.

what kind of FS is your /tmp?

COuld you try creating a temporary directory in your home and pointing 
TMPDIR there?

The script does require a change to accomodate for not having any of the 
variables it checks set, but you will need to define TMPDIR anyway in 
your setup most probably to have it working.
