Please note that the runmc > script does execute and work properly when I call it manually! ls should show it with execute privelege if it is an executable file (either a PE file, or one that starts #!). Note that BASH can execute files that are not actually valid shell scripts by making the assumption that they are intended to be executed by bash, even when they don't have an inital #!... line, so it would be advisable to check that this line is indeed present as it sounds to me as though it isn't.
