It might help if we knew the nature of the shell script; for example,
the shellac actions perform some basic shell scripts with passed
input (http://www.automatorworld.com/archives/shellac-10/)

Hi Steve. Thanks for replying. Sadly none of your examples work
here. I'm seeing an empty string or errors (using cat "$1" with
quotes gives error no such file/directory. Using Automator 1.0.1 (54).
