	That could be it, alright.
	The only other possibilities I can think of are:
	- you don't have "sh" in your "bin" directory
	- you don't have the script set executable ("chmod 755 ./script")
	- WinZip formatted the script as a dos text file, meaning that you'll have
to chop the extra CR/LFs off the end of each line before the script will
work properly.
