Jens,

Check the scripts' first line, the #! one.  Be sure that it reference
bash and that the path used is also correct.  
As in:  #!/bin/bash

Be sure you have a /bin/bash.exe for the above to work.

If these are correct, try running one of the scripts using the
following:

   bash -x script_name 2>&1 | tee script_dbg.txt

Depending on where the failure happens, you will see various amounts of
output on the screen.  It should stop at the point where the problem
exists, hopefully providing a clue about what it is looking for.
