You might check with a hex dump program and see if there are
any unprintable characters (like CR) after sh on the first 
line.  This could happen if you created your script on an
editor that uses DOS/WIN type line endings.  If this is the
case get a little program called dos2unix (and there is one
that goes the other way, unix2dos) to convert the line endings.
