I'd suggest being careful posting help to the list before checking
it--many who ask for aid won't catch syntax errors.  That snippet would
fail with the right bracket snuggled up against the 'b'.

Also, it's always much safer to specify multiple tests with enclosing
escaped brackets to guarantee proper association, e.g., for your
example:

  if [ \( -d /path/a \) -a \( -d /path/b \) ]

Cheers,
