I had the same symptoms when a cdrom was mounted without execute 
permission, and I attempted to run a shell script on the cd. The script 
could not be run directly, but 'sh script.sh' worked. That is until that 
script attempted to run another script on the cd, at which point it 
again gave me a permission denied error message similar to yours.

So perhaps for some mysterious reason, your filesystem is being mounted 
without execute permission? In the case of my cd drive, I fixed it by 
remounting it with an entry in fstab that set the 'exec' flag:
/dev/hdc  /media/cdrecorder  auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
