Are you sure you are trying to run the right file ? What is the output of 

file /path/to/binary

I've never seen this error message before... but I was able to get the
message by doing this..

[EMAIL PROTECTED] kingsly]$ chmod +x Invite.jpg 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] kingsly]$ ./Invite.jpg 
bash: ./Invite.jpg: cannot execute binary file
[EMAIL PROTECTED] kingsly]$

Wouldn't help... as the file you are trying to execute is not an executable
binary.
