aardvark I think was the most correct on the answer to this funny problem. It was both the shebang line but also with USR not USER :) so I think arrdvark and epoptai should get the most credit for their great answers =).

I tested this script out on my own server... and it worked after noticing that the shebang line needed 2 errors fixed, and aardvark really noticed that :) so that's all I have to say...
