Yann,

Thanks for the quick reply!

For my next novice question..  is there a binary distribution/tar of bash that I can download to use on my busybox system?

Thanks!

This is a bash array variable. The script expects to be run with bash.
Array variables are not POSIX.

Busybox provides a shell that is POSIX compliant, plus a few extensions, but array variables are not part of these extensions.

You need bash.
