I have a script on my machine that calls the pw command.  I have been
running this script for 3 years and it has worked fine.  I use it to change
passwords.  it uses the pw command in the following syntax

echo newpass | pw usermod username

this has worked fine but suddently today it is dropping out with the
following  error

pw: password update: No such file or directory

I have tried everything I can but can't fix this

Please help
