Sounds to me like you don't have /bin/sh :)  It's a shell script, so
first line applies.  Maybe try checking attaching and unattaching it
didn't add non-printable characters etc - "cat -vent"?

You'd better also check for false linebreaks too by the sound of it.
Maybe it got mangled in transmission.

You need to touch file that tells it to run - check the bottom of the loop.
That's just to test it, and is exactly why I put the traps in!
Dangerous to test, and not realise your fans left off when you
finish.
