The "cmd" and "shouldfail" functions checked the exit status of the replace_path function instead of the actual command that was running. (The $? construct checks the exit status of the last command in a pipeline, not the first command.)

Print an explicit error message if a command that should fail actually succeeds.

Updated t-032.sh, which used "shouldfail" instead of "cmd" in one place. (The comment in the script makes it clear that the command is expected to succeed.)
