Thanks go to the following for various suggestions:

The answer was that within the ftp portion of the script I had used a
shell escape to echo a command to a logfile on the local machine.
This line was what caused the error message. Apparently it must have
failed silently under ULTRIX, but became noticable under DU3.2d.
Thanks to all.
