I've seen something like this happen when there is a non-printing
character on the shebang line (like a CTRL-G or similar). So instead of
running /bin/sh, your shell tries to run "/bin/sh^G" -- which obviously
doesn't exist.

Can you run "xxd /root/bin/scripttest" and show us the output? If you
don't have xxd on your system (it usually is packaged with Vim) you can
try "od -x /root/bin/scripttest".

xxd/od will show right away if there is anything funky on the shebang
line that shouldn't be there.

thanks,
Thomas

xxd scripttest:
