Are you sure it can not be a CR/LF problem (or some other trailing 
invisible stuff)? This is probably the most frequent cause of this 
problem (e.g. when moving the script from win32 to linux - but since I 
guess you are on linux only - well, I don't know)

Otherwise, what you are doing seems fine to me...

Cheers,
Peter
