"cd" in bash script not being executed

[Michael D. Crawford]

 > the script fails to change directory.

Just to make sure, put the following on the line after #!/bin/bash

set -x

and then before and after the line with the cd command:

pwd

Are you sure it's not changing directory, or could something else be going wrong?
