Another cause might be that whatever editor was used one of the script
lines wrapped around....which the pico -w overcomes.  I've shot myself in
the foot many times letting a script line wrap.

So, open it up with pico -w filename...and then look line-by-line for a
broken line.

Once you find and fix it, repeat at least a thousand times...."I will not
split lines."
