I am not an expert in scripts at all, but I remember there is difference
between interactive and non-interactive shells that could cause things
like this. What happens if you try to execute a script with
non-interactive command? For example:

#!/bin/bash
echo "I am script"

And, just for a case... Are all scripts executable? (+x)
