Linux systems use Bash as the standard shell, which has some extensions
over what the standard Bourne shell has, the parsing of {,} lists being
one of them. (Bash borrowed this syntax from Csh, as did Ksh I think.)
Just expand these manually yourself in your script, and your shell should
be happy. E.g.:
mv db.words.db{.work,} --> mv db.words.db.work db.words.db
Either that or use a different shell to parse your script.
