This is POSIX error ENOEXEC.  From the man page for execve(2):

      [ENOEXEC]          The new process file has the appropriate  
access per-
                         mission, but has an unrecognized format  
(e.g., an
                         invalid magic number in its header).

Make sure your script isn't saved as UTF-16.  If that looks okay, open  
it in a hex editor and see what the first line looks like, or use vim - 
b in Terminal.
