Looks like a classic case of having DOS/Windows-style line endings in
a shell script, instead of Unix-style. Get rid of the ctrl-M characters
and it should work fine after that. Something like:
tr -d '\r' < oldfile > newfile
... should do the trick, if your favourite editor won't allow you to
remove them.

Judging from the output, bash.
