Using a macro makes pdfetex quits and exits with bad status

Have been running the development version of texi2pdf with the following
command.

/home/hagbard/Admir/bin/texinfo/bin/texi2pdf 06a-amcoh.texi

bin/tex/texinfo has been created and includes tekinfo.text as expected

But, I get smacked with this message

/home/hagbard/Admir/bin/texinfo/bin/texi2pdf: 37: /home/hagbard/Admir/bin/texinfo/bin/texi2pdf: texi2dvi: not found

I do have texi2dvi in /home/hagbard/Admir/bin/texinfo/bin/

Looks like texi2pdf is looking for texi2dvi somewhere else.
