Couple of things to try.  One, I use #!mc and not #!/mc, but that's probably
not your problem.  However, make sure that the script file you wrote is
saved with UNIX line breaks!  Not Mac line breaks.  If you haven't already,
grab a copy of Bbedit lite, which is free, free, free and awesome.  It can
easily save your script with UNIX line breaks.  I'd guess that's the
problem.
