Actually, Andy's right, the path to the interpreter is incorrect.  But 
it's incorrect because the file has DOS-style CR-LF line endings.  This 
makes the path to the shell seem to be:  /bin/bash<0x0D> , which of 
course is a file that doesn't exist.

The error message that is (trying to be) printed is really:  
/bin/bash<0x0D>: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

But when it prints the <0x0D> character to the console, the cursor 
returns to the beginning of the line, leaving only the part starting 
with the colon left-justified on the screen.

Use the dos2unix utility to fix the script file.
