First: 

  Follow Alan DeKok's debugging instructions exactly.  He knows what he
  is doing.



My personal guessing: 

I would expect that in "DEBUG mode" the script is being run with root
permissions and/or environment variables from your shell, such as PATH.

Check what permissions are required by the script.  Check that the
script does not make assumptions about things in the environment; fully
specify the path to any needed sub-scripts/binaries.

It may be that your 2.0.5 install was running as root and your 2.1.8
install is now running as a "freeradius" user, whatever that user might
happen to be named.
