Aha.  The dot at the beginning off the line threw me off. Since I'm used
to run shell scripts just like /tmp/whatever.sh.  I'm guessing this will 
happen
to other users as well, especially since the "how to make this work on 
windows"
guide is likely to be read by people not intimately fermiliar with linux 
customs.
