I don't know if it matters, but try running the iwconfig lines BEFORE the 
ifconfig up.  That's the order I've got them in in my script to connect to an 
Airport, and it could be that the iwconfig commands aren't actually changing 
the config while the interface is "up".

Just a guess, based on a similar script that works for me.
