I think you should give the absolute path of config.sh to source. It is
the same if you want to run something with nohup. Because they were run
in the background and therefore, do not have your pwd.

"source" is not a builtin command in ksh. Change the first line of the
script to "#!/bin/csh" or "#!/bin/bash".
