Thank you for responding.
I figured out a "workaround" for this issue: It seems that when I use my Mac to compress the downloaded original firmware folder (Safari UNcompresses it by default), when placed in the src folder, it leads to the “could not find KoboRoot.tgz” error when running kobopatch.sh in Terminal.
So, in Safari I unchecked "open 'safe' files after downloading" in the preferences and was able to put THAT original, unaltered ZIP file in the src folder and now the process works in Terminal without a hitch. Yay!
I don't know what Apple does differently when it comes to compressing folders into ZIP files, but the difference is enough to trip up the kobopatch.sh script when run in Terminal. I’ll leave it to the tech gurus to figure that out, but in the meantime hopefully my workaround will save some other Mac user from pulling their hair out in future.
