Might it be related to access rights or the user that calls the script?
It might be a permissions problem. Try to delete all previously generated files (including the log file) before running the script. If you were a different user when logged in via rsh, it could keep the normal 'reader' user from overwriting existing files.

Also, try using your freshly installed version of wget to download the newspaper if it works in getting the HTML file in the first line.

Finally, I'm not familiar with '&>' in sh scripts. Are you sure you used that when logged in via rsh?
