not a unix guru, so no theory, but i believe it is working. when you execute 
"update", your script is changing directory, but it won't change the 
directory that you're in. if you change update to something like:

cd directory/directory2
echo "foobar" > temp.txt

there should be a file called temp.txt created in directory/directory2.

hth.
