So I reproduced the problem here: == test.sh == #!/bin/bash for x in "$@"; do echo "arg: $x" done ARGS_COPY=$@ for x in "$ARGS_COPY"; do echo "arg_copy: $x" done ==
./test.sh a b "c d e" f arg: a arg: b arg: c d e arg: f arg_copy: a b c d e f I'll dig around a bit more and see if we can fix it. Pretty sure we aren't passing these argument arrays around correctly in bash.
