You can't redirect I/O on certain Ultrix /bin/sh built-in commands, e.g.

   $ set >/tmp/foo
   [...lots of junk...]
   illegal io
   $ read junk </tmp/foo
   [...type one line here, then...]
   illegal io

If you run the script under /bin/sh5, which doesn't have these
problems, it may work.  Change the starting #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/sh5
