Problems kicking off shell script through Telnet step

[bwilder]

Hi,
I've got a telnet step set up to kick off a shell script on a remote Suse Linux server. When I run the step, it connects as expected and returns a success message, but then when I check the server to make sure the action was completed, I find no change.

For example:
test.sh -
mkdir ~/bin/my_test

After running the script local to the server, I get a new directory ~/bin/my_test. After running the script through the telnet step (with the same credentials), I get:
Telnet Script tab -
ic@Server111:~>
bash ~/bin/test.sh

Build log results -

Script successfully executed

Upon checking for the new dir, I find nothing. I've also tried running a slightly modified version of the ssh.bld from in another post about ssh issues and got similar results:

Telnet Script tab -
ic@Server111:~>
ls -al ~/bin
ic@Server111:~>
echo test > ~/bin/xyz.txt

As you can see, the "ls -al ~/bin" seems to work as expected, but the "echo test > ~/bin/xyz.txt" does nothing at all. If I check ~/bin/ on my server, there is no xyz.txt. To me, this would indicate a permissions issue, but I've got the telnet step configured with the same permissions that I use to run the test script locally. Any other thoughts?
