Does the /tmp/script file already exist?  Have you created it in your
testing?  I would say check permissions,  The scripts will get fired off
from the hobbit user, so the files will be created by hobbit.  If you
created them already as someone other than hobbit, that would be an
issue.

Other than that I dont see a problem,  I just ran the same scenario with
your script and it works perfectly.

Here was the output of the script:
Array
(
    [0] => /usr/local/scripts/test.php
    [1] => 123456789
    [2] => FORMAT=SMS
)
