If we have a embedded [CDATA[ script containing variable assignments like,

variablename2=$((othervariable + 1))
, the web server throws an ERROR 500.

Is this a known bug? Any workaround without hacking the embedded script?
Sounds like the default behaviour.
Try to use #raw around these variables that are not intended for cobbler
to be interpreted but by the shell later.
Alternatively try escaping like \$(ls).
