Change script:
NAME='nobody'
to 
NAME='flyingfischer'

On Fedora, due to paranoid security you cannot run this script in sudo, you 
need to start it as root (that's why it doesn't find anything in /sbin for 
you). But since you changed the paths, it should manage to run in sudo now as 
well.

WRONG! You used backticks here, which effectively cause these programs to run 
in place. Use normal single or double quotes for all program paths in these 
four lines and it all will be fine.
