I'm sure it comes from my being a gormless idiot, but whatever is the
-UKWS argument immediately after the mb2md.pl invocation?

As always, reading the idiom of someone else's scripting is an
education. And some of it wouldn't work with native AIX sh/ksh, so
changed the functions:
> folders_hash() {
> local HASH=`find $FOLDERS -type f |sort|(IFS=\
> ;while read file; do ls -l "\$file"; done)`
> eval "$1=\"$HASH\""
> }
>
to:
> folders_hash() {
> local IFS=\
> local HASH=`find $FOLDERS -type f | sort | \
> while read file
> do
> ls -l "\$file"
> done`
> # the escapes are so that $1 gets "$HASH" NOT $HASH
> # So the resolution is deferred...
> eval "$1=\"$HASH\""
> }
I would have wished for a few more comments within the script.
