If the script was not previously producing the last error shown above
then ***someone*** has recently changed it.

What you show does not appear to be an extract from a valid bash
script!! Hint: the backslash is missing from the end of the line
starting -K. Also, unless you have set noglob, you almost certainly want
to put -* in quotes. I suggest you get someone who knows bash to take a
look. I am guessing the missing continuation, causing the -* and -J
options to be ignored, is also causing the first error messsage.
