Im confused at your response, I did not ask what each line of my script does, I was merely looking for help as to why hpt toss isnt running.  I know that binkd doesnt execute hpt, I was saying that binkd correctly runs mail-toss script and I know this because that text file gets created.  However my system for whatever reason doesnt continue on with the script.
