I'm not sure I understand you. You have a php script which creates a
shell-script. Then you have a php script which exec('shell-script')? Assuming
that the php script is run by the same user throughout then I don't see why
it cannot exec your shell-script. Perhaps you can elaborate.

so why do you need to move it? Why can't you exec() it where it is?
Try hand writing a script then exec() it from php.
