Strange Bash Script Behavior -- Doesn't Recognize $variable in cdStatement

[Ron Franke]

Hi:

I'm having a strange problem with a bash script when trying to cd with a 
$variable. A simple example script follows. The issue is on the line 
with cd ${copydir}. I'm wondering if there is a bash issue or something 
in my environment that I'm missing. I have RedHat 8.0 and use the update 
service and have picked up all updates, I believe.

Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.

#!/bin/bash

copydir=/home/ron/copy/
echo ${copydir}
pwd
cd copy
pwd
cd ..
pwd
cd ${copydir}
pwd
cd ~
pwd
The following is output from the script with the error
