Thanks mwdmarco. Deleting the #! /bin/bash line is the only thing that worked for me in a Ubuntu 9.10 VM.

0000000   #   !   /   b   i   n   /   s   h  \n

yes, for my case - i got error ": bad interpreter: No such file or directory" when run script. below is the output of command above:

[root@D04 tmp]# head -1 reset.sh | od -c | head -1
0000000 # ! / b i n / b a s h \r \n

there is "\r" there. so i make a new script by copy n paste each of them and it turns to:

[root@D04 tmp]# head -1 reset.sh | od -c | head -1
0000000 # ! / b i n / b a s h \n

now, "bad interpreter" was gone..

I had similar problem (two files in same dir - first run without problems, second not).

In my case error message 'no interpreter' contains also '^M' string - my line break in file was coded in windows not unix standard
