How do you run it by hand?

Did the folder exist already on your system?

Did you set the executable bit for your script?
(Output of ls -al /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/tpb should look like this:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 115 2004-08-09
02:21 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/tpb )
Else set it with chmod +x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/tpb (as root).

What i meant is the one who you logged in as. (In fact the X server is
always running as the root user, but that's not what i meant.)
