Some search made me think that the Bad substitution message may come
from the "shebang" line:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=96b47628c3978442c752a389661de8bf&p=1678067&postcount=214

About that last error, it seems like the variable
'global_dependencies_cache_dir' is set wrong. It should be the user
settings + '/dependencies_cache/'. From CheckDependencies:
global_dependencies_cache_dir =
os.path.expanduser(getGoboVariable('goboUserSettings')+'/dependencies_cache/')

Somehow getGoboVariable isn't run correctly or goboUserSettings isn't available.
