That works for me (but the it tries to rip the whole CD and encode
it as "OGG" -- crazy).

The script itself has the "#!/bin/sh", so it shouldn't matter what
shell you invoke it with. HOWEVER, inspection reveals that it calls
the csh script "which", instead of the POSIX built-in "command -V". I
bet your installation installs another "which", or else does something
weird with that. What do you get when you type

   which which
   which cdparanoia
   which /usr/pkg/bin/cdparanoia

? In any case, trying changing the "which" where it says "which $X" to
"command -V $X" (both places in "abcde").
