There is a formatting issue with the Script File which
you are having problems. I have had problems with
this in the past (as a matter of fact yesterday), where there
are extra spaces, or Windows File Formatting (CR/LF
is different), or hidden Control Characters in the File.
It doesn't matter whether the file has the correct
permission, i.e. execute permission, the Shell will
barf on the file. The "missing file or directory error"
is misleading. The only solution is to retype the
file -- at least I have not found any other solution...
