Why does do shell work differntly from running the same bash script in terminal?

Question

i have the following a/s:
set scriptPath to quoted form of ((POSIX path of (path to me)) & lnThumb)       set ftn to ""       repeat            try                 do shell script scriptPath & " " & ppath & " " & ftn                 exit repeat            on error error_message number error_number                  if error_number is not -128 then                      set ftn to (choose file with prompt "select folder thumbnail" default location dir without invisibles)                      set ftn to quoted form of the POSIX path of ftn                 end if            end try       end repeat
calling this bash script:
#!/bin/bash -f   cd "$1"  rm ./folderthumb.jpg   if [ $# -gt 1 ]  then      ft=${2/#"$1"\//}  else      ft=$(awk '/folderIcon=/{printf("%s",$1)}' meta.properties  | sed s/folderIcon=// )      if [ 0$ft -eq 0 ]       then          exit 1      fi      ft="thumbs/"$ft  fi  ln -s $ft ./folderthumb.jpg  exit 0
which works as expected when run from the cli:
tomw> /Applications/imageProc/fixJAlbum.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/lnThumb.sh `pwd` `pwd`/thumbs/P1040161.JPG   tomw> ls -l folderthumb.jpg lrwxr-xr-x  1 tomw  admin  19 Oct 22 10:36 folderthumb.jpg -> thumbs/P1040161.JPG
but fails to strip the common directory when called from do shell:
tomw> ls -l folderthumb.jpg   lrwxr-xr-x  1 tomw  admin  89 Oct 22 10:36 folderthumb.jpg -> /Users/tomw/Desktop/trip2albequerque/albequerque/oldRailyards2nobHill/thumbs/P1 040133.JPG
