Ugh. It looks like mac and linux use different syntax for some of the basic Unix tools. That's very frustrating.
Anyway, I've updated the script in an attempt to solve some of these problems, maybe not all, though.

I wish I knew where to find the right syntax for the mac version of mktemp! But I've changed the script so it doesn't use the --suffix option any more.

Weird. You did say you had calibre installed, right? Can you find a program called "ebook-meta" anywhere on your computer? Mine is at /opt/calibre/ebook-meta. What version of calibre are you using?
Anyway, those errors shouldn't be fatal. They'll just mean that you'll lose the metadata from the file. But it would be nice to figure out what goes wrong.

Those are just byproducts of not finding ebook-meta.

I hope that's a byprodoct of the other problems, but what happens if you type gs -v from the command line?

Totally mysterious. I wasn't using stdin there. But I've edited the script to remove the -i flags.
The revised script is in the post above. (I swapped out the old attachment.)
