You guys and your bug claims.

Rule 1: If you are quoting things, you are doing it wrong.
Rule 2: You have to quote things.
Rule 3: Refer to rule 1 & 2.

A shell environment variable cannot contain a list of quoted strings (well, ok, sure, it can, but it won't work).

In your script, with your three files selected, this line:

cat $KMVAR_pathList

Gets the following parameters:

  • '/Users/peter/t/Archive/Test
  • File
  • 1.txt'
  • '/Users/peter/t/Archive/Test
  • File
  • 2.txt'
  • '/Users/peter/t/Archive/Test
  • File
  • 3.txt'

The quotes are meaningless characters in this context.
