Try running the file by typing in ". filename" (without the quotes)(that's
dot space filename).  This tells the shell explicitly where to run the file
from.  If it works then the path to the file that your trying to run
doesn't exist.  You can edit your PATH in your .profile and put a "." (dot)
to represent the current directory.  Be aware that this also presents a
security hole.

Hope this helps.
