I would verify that by executing dbstart and dbshut from the command line -- yes, I realize that this is not what Oracle recommends however it is the surest way to discover if the scripts are working and, if not, why not.

Before you run the scripts you will want to make a change to them. These will be /bin/sh scripts and should have the following as the first line:

#!/bin/sh

Just below that line add the following:

set -x

This will trace the execution of the script while it executes displaying commands, variables, etc. This should show the trouble spot or spots with the script and should allow you to determine what changes need be made to enable the scripts to function properly. Should you have trouble with this feel free to email me privately and I'll be more than happy to assist.
