You need to explicitly set your ORACLE environment variables, ORACLE_SID
and ORACLE_HOME in your script (or use the oraenv file). ORACLE_SID not
being set, ORACLE doesn't know to what instance to connect. When it
tries to display the error, it cannot find the path to the error message
file because the ORACLE_HOME is not set.
Hope this helps.
