login script for every user does not work

I want files to be copied for every user when they log in to RHEL 5 workstation.
I modified /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default to execute a script.
This script works if run manually in the terminal by a user account after logging in.
However although it appears to be run when they log in, it does not copy the files and I cannot see any reason why. The echo statements were added for debugging and /var/log/login.log shows it is executed when a user logs in except no files are copied to the home directory.
What am I missing here and how can I debug why files are not being copied?Start Free Trial
