There's a very subtle bug (feature?) in bash (and maybe other shells?) 
that will generate this error if the line is terminated with a CR/LF 
pair instead of just a linefeed.

Your script came from a DOS/Windows system and the CR's weren't 
stripped.  If you copied using FTP make sure to use "text" mode.  If you 
  extracted a zip archive using the "unzip" command use "-a" to convert 
text files.
