I know I'm caming in late, but I'd also check and recheck the
permissions of /sw/, /sw/bin/ and /sw/bin/gzip (and/or whatever
those point to if they're symlinks) again.  I've also seen similar
strange error messages show up from scripts with broken shebang
lines, but I can't reproduce that particular sequence right off
the top of my head.
