This look very much like a problem with the #! feature of your shell

when the shell is asked to run a text file with execute permission it
will look for a #!/...... line at the begining of the file,
and then execute what is just after the #!, appending the name of the file.

You problem might be:

        1) the #! line doesn't point to the right executable
         2) the #! program path is too long
           expecialy tcsh as a shorter path capacity than bash for instance

hopes it helps,

Marc.
