The 'sh' - dash - does not recognize the {arg1,arg2,  } notation, bash does.

Re: Mpd Script (Frist script i wrote but thinks theres some problems)

Remove sudo here:

sudo gunzip -c /usr/share/doc/mpd/examples/mpd.conf.gz > ~/.mpd/mpd.conf 

Otherwise the file will be owned by root. And you don't need sudo privileges to extract stuff from /usr/share/doc. So:

gunzip -c /usr/share/doc/mpd/examples/mpd.conf.gz > ~/.mpd/mpd.conf

But his won't work either, as the default configuration has the playlist, database and other files in /var/lib or somewhere. You need a user specific config. So upload one to dropbox or a VCS and add that to the script.
