Sorry, I am not docbook expert -- help from the list please?
I seem to be using:

Hmph.  I suspect (cd blt && tar cf - .) is failing silently.
When built, "make -C templates" creates templates/blt directory
and leaves templates/boilerplates.made file.  Do you have them?

Ah, another possibility.  Does your "cd" say anything
unnecessary even when running scripts, not interactively?  For
example, do you have CDPATH set and _exported_ to the
environment?  CDPATH might be a useful shell variable for
interactive session, but you never want to export it to affect
unsuspecting shell scripts you invoke directly or indirectly.

I see many documents floating on the web that call CDPATH "an
environment variable".  It is a disease X-<.
