So I think that the problem is in / --> \/ substitution:

esc_MAINPATH=${ROTT_ETCDIR//\//\\/}
esc_STATPATH=${ROTT_STATPATH//\//\\/}

On bash systems permits to have:
ROTT_ETCDIR  --> esc_MAINPATH
/etc/rottlog --> \/etc\/rottlog

But in your shell this doesn't succeed.
Please send me output of following little shell script. With this I will try
to understand how i can bypass this problem.

#!/bin/bash

orig_path="/dir/to/test"

echo "Path to convert is: $orig_path"

echo "TRY 1 (this shouldn't work): ${orig_path//\//\\/}"
echo "TRY 2 : ${orig_path//\//_t_}"
echo "TRY 3 : ${orig_path//\//\\\/}"
echo "TRY 4 : ${orig_path//\//\\\\/}"
echo "TRY 5 : ${orig_path//\//\\\\\/}"
echo "TRY 6 : $(echo $orig_path|tr '/' '\')"
echo -n "TRY 7 : "
OLDIFS="$IFS"
IFS='/'
for f in $orig_path; do
  echo -n "$f"
  echo -n '\/'
done
echo
IFS="$OLDIFS"
