Coming from Linux my first instinct would be to run your script under
strace [1] to see where the error code occurs. I'm not sure if strace is
available on Solaris, but if it's not maybe similar tools exist? Looking
at Wikipedia it mentions Truss and DTrace, maybe give one of those a
try? Good luck!
