It appears that you have installed the security patch. It is on by default
in 6.0.3. This inserts a \ before special characters. You need to
strip it out in your action scripts. Do something like this:

NODE=`echo "$2" | sed "s:\\\\\\::g"`

This will remove all of those backslashes. I've tripped over this
twice now, installing the 6.0.3 upgrade and forgetting to fix my
scripts.

Cordially,

Running 6.02 on Solaris 8.
When the trap var-bindings contain the character -(hyphen), the inline
actions do not parse nvattr variables correctly.  Has anyone else seen this

issue?
For eg., if one of the trap variables contain (eg., $2) the string:
"ABC-DEF", the inline action does not parse the $NVATTR_2 as "ABC\-DEF".
ie., a forward slash character is introduced.
