Yes, your error is most likely caused by \r\n line endings.  You must have
text=binary mounts, correct?  There are two ways to correct the problem:

1) remount your directories into text!=binary mode

2) cp foo.sh foo.tmp && tr -d '\r' < foo.tmp > foo.sh

3) Oops I said there were only two, use the most recent net release.

Cheers,
