Richard, my first thought is that you might be running it without doing a mntroot rw first. My second thought is that DAMN people should not be running these scripts if they don't know how to debug them and fix things that they might break. I had a look at the script from this thread, which is what I presume you're talking about... and I don't see anything technically wrong with the syntax.

Assuming you've got write access to the root fs, it should create a new dir on the user partition called .kindlesec (which would show up if you plugged it into windows with usb networking off) and makes backups of the four files to there and then proceeds to replace each of them with shortcuts (links) to nowhere (/dev/null), but not before making additional backups of them in their respective folders (the 2nd backups will have the same file name with a tilde "~" appended). Should work. As for if it's a good idea, well........
