The issue is that "ncl_filedump" calls other commands, like "ncargpath" and "ncl". It doesn't use an absolute path like you did. It uses commands like:

   ncargpath ncarg
   ncl tmpscript.ncl

Hence, if $NCARG_ROOT/bin is not on your search path, then ncl_filedump will be unable to find "ncargpath" and "ncl".

Glad it's workig for you now.
