thanks!

I opted to save all of them to 'unix style' which is to
have the EOL as '\n' vice the traditional mac style '\r'
or the canonical dos two byte '\r\n' - since that way they
are good to go either way at least in OS X and *nix boxen.

rule of thumb:

target the target server

I wanted to let everyone that responded know I figured out the problem, and
it was sort of dumb.

When I created my scripts I used BBEdit, but did not set the type of file to
Unix, I let it remain the default of Macintosh (well I was on a Mac).

I discovered that if the scripts are in Mac test format, they will not run,
and you get an internal server error, that says the file can not be found
(real good error message).

Hope this helps someone else.
