Message:

Field Separator (IFS) conflicting with backticks and other ways of getting command output. According to ​https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/159053/a-tiny-and-simple-script-fail-and-this-is-the-output-no-such-file-or-directory, having customised the IFS to an empty line, the command inside subsequent backticks operator (or other way of getting cmd output) is not run with the first string inside the backticks and subsequent strings passed as args, but the entire set of strings is interpreted as the command to run. And then I get a No Such File or Directory message. Setting and unsetting the IFS locally just before running backtick commands did not make a difference for any of the values of IFS I could think of. Correcting this in the only way I could get it to work.
