Note that you can only have 9 parameters passed like this ($1 to $9). If you try to refer to $10 in your script, it will use the value of $1 and append a zero to that value.
To refer to parameters 10-255, you need to enclose them in braces, eg:
${10}
${11}
..
${255}
The only shell that doesn't support this is the tradition bourne shell.
${10}
${11}
..
${255}
