Edit setperms so it's second line is:

  set -xv

Do you have the program "script" (that copies the standard output
and standard error output to a file) on your system?  If so, execute
it. then execute setperms, exit script by typing <Ctrl>+d and then
look in the file "typescript" to see if you see why it's hanging.

If you don't have "script", execute setperms (having made the above
edit to it) and the part of its code where it hangs should be visible
on your screen.
