Probably because you didn't set the execute bit:
chmod +x script
or its not in your path
export PATH=$PATH:<path to your script>
or you didn't supply the full path name:
./script
or
/some/directory/script
Also try reading the man page on "execve".
man execve
Pay particular attention to the following:
DESCRIPTION
execve() executes the program pointed to by filename.
filename must be either a binary executable, or a shell
script starting with a line of the form "#! interpreter
[arg]". In the latter case, the interpreter must be a
valid full executable pathname and the contents of file-
name is presented to it on standard input.
