I have also this bug in Edgy (firestarter version 1.0.3-1.2ubuntu3). I'm not a developper and don't know the shell language, but if one remove "set -e" it works indeed. I manage to make the purge work without error by leaving "set -e" but removing some parts of the file (seems to request to remove a file that doesn't exist in a folder that doesn't exist??).
