I have tried all the suggestions offered so far (remove the "clear", 
space before the &, full path) nothing makes any difference. And the 
called script "FactoryRestore.sh" is a one liner and works by itself.

I realized that when I execute the final script by itself that I have to 
sudo because of partimage. I think that may be it.
