What is the output of:

echo $PATH

Where does bin/foo exist, and from where are you trying to run it in
these tests?

I'm not aware of any way to comment out a shebang line aside from making
it not be a shebang line anymore.  In any case that line looks good,
assuming it has a Unix line ending rather than a Windows line ending.
You told Andrew that running dos2unix on foo didn't fix anything, so I
assume it has a Unix line ending.

Did you run "which foo" from inside your home directory or from the same
directory in which you attempted to run "foo" and "./bin/foo"?
