Is this a script?  How have you transferred it between systems?  Are
there any embedded carriage returns (ASCII \015, ^M) at the end of
lines?  

If so, you may be fooling your command interpreter, and need to strip
out the carriage returns.   The dos2unix utility should do this for you.

Just ran into this myself yesterday ;-P
