Hi,
no solution to your +x and the other shell problems... my solution to the original problem looks like this.

I did the following to save my gvm.store file because I had the same problems in past. I've installed "personal menu" and created an entry for backup of my palm file (see below). It copies the file to sd card and give it a timestamp. I use this from time to time, especially after installing new palm-progs and sometimes I remove old copies. The palm gvm should be down if you start the backup-copy. If the gvm crashes and has deleted all my apps, I create a new vm with gvm (with 64MB RAM and the other parameters), start the vm and stopp it. Then I manually(!) copy the backup file to ~user/.gvm/gvm.store

I only need two taps for an backup!
Thats all and it runs perfectly for me.

Here's the entry of ~user/.personal_menu.rc

Code:
[21]
app name=gvm.store
icon name=qgn_list_backup
executable=/bin/cp  /home/user/.gvm/gvm.store /media/mmc1/AKeg_downlod/gvm.store.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`  ; echo fertig mit gvm.store.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`
run as root=false
run in term=true
service=
Additionaly I start the palm directly over 'personal menu', the entry look like this (ZLCR is zlauncher). It's very fast(I guess about 4-5sec. for complete VM) to start an app directly via such a command line:

Code:
[0]
app name=PalmOS
icon name=garnet-vm
executable=/usr/bin/gvm/gvm --hotsyncid=keg:12345 --dynheap=2048 --storageheap=64 --rotated=no --zoomFactor=1  --appcreator=ZLCR --bgimage=/usr/bin/gvm/gvm_bg.jpg
run as root=false
run in term=false
service=
Only a little note ...
Klaus
