Being able to specify command line arguments to the script being sourced is a Korn shell extension that has been adopted by many other shells (bash etc.). FreeBSD's /bin/sh doesn't support this feature, it just ignores the extra arguments. If the script is intended to be portable you'll have to avoid using this feature; otherwise run the script with pdksh, ksh93 or bash.
