I tried --debug. It gave quite a bit of output but ended in a similar manner to the output I gave already. The script also didn't get written to disk and I had to reboot my machine since the console doesn't seem to recover (I'm guessing). I need to get my second machine online to get around this. I'll try to take a look and find something more concrete for you to go on if I get a chance. I feel a bit clueless at this point.
