Actually Bob can replace the script anytime between the initial statfs() call
in your script and the interpreter opening the script sometime after the
execve() call.  You should be able to get around this by opening the script
first, using fstatfs() and fstat() and passing the script as /dev/fd/N to
the interpreter.

What I was actually referring to was your use of argv[1], argv[2], argv[3]
and argv[4] without checking argc or otherwise validating them.
