You know, the only thing that worries me is that monotone uses -e as a
short variant of --execute.  The only place where I see -e is in you
sed expression, so I'm wondering what you expected to get from echo
$TAG_DATE.  Me, I would expect to get something like 'D2006_06-24',
and I don't see how monotone could think that's even close to -e or
--execute...

Cheers,
