Look at the first line.  It should say #!/bin/bash
If it says #!/bin/sh - make sure there is a symlink from sh -> bash

If it is missing the #, you can get this error.

If there are ^M at the end of the line, you will get this error.

What does that tell you if your project is ahead of schedule and under
budget?
