A comparison of my busybox and Steven's revealed that I was missing: 
true, false, id, seq, and some other programs that might have been the 
problem.  I have not tried taking /bin/busybox off the path again yet.

Nope, the script is making these links.  I put the new busybox into an 
empty directory and it made links to sha1sum, uuencode, dealocvt, and many 
other things not actually in busybox.  I have at least two other busyboxes 
on my path - could it be using one of those?
