I don't see where this is happening in the script, but this sounds like
something is interpreting the track number as octal because it has a
leading 0. 08 and 09 aren't valid octal values so the conversion would
fail. I played a little with code that looks like how the script generates
and applies the track number, but 08 and 09 worked fine for me. Have you
verified that the track number you're extracting from the flac file is what
you expect?

You may want to try one of these tools:
* WavGain (http://rarewares.org/others.php)
* Normalize (http://normalize.nongnu.org/)
