Just a wild stab, but are you sure that the line-endings for /home/hesco/sandbox/EC2/trick_out_my_server.sh are correct? Not Windows line endings or something weird?

And are you sure the interpreter mentioned after "#!" exists in the AMI?

I'm asking this because something in the AMI startup is apparently being more picky than what your local box needs. Or, something is corrupting the base64 decode (are you exceeding the size? try something smaller).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
