I expect this script will have even more trouble, since 'hg export' is giving
you the diff being committed, the change may be removing your text
and thus it will show up in the diff, but with a '-' in front of it.

What your script needs to do is use 'hg status -n -rev -2:-1' to get the list
of files modified by the tip changeset, filter that list by the path you want,
then on each file use: hg cat [FILE] | grep 'my string'
