Ah, you mentioned "cascading replication" in the subject, and I assumed
that you meant the built-in streaming cascading replication feature. But
from the scripts, I see that you're using pg_standby, and rsync for the
cascade.
pg_standby is not the recommended way to set up replication anymore.
Since version 9.0, there is a built-in standby feature that can be used
in file-based mode too. See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/warm-standby.html#STANDBY-SERVER-SETUP.
I don't know if pg_standby can be made to work across timeline switches.
