That was the problem. I was using samba to move the files over to my www directory and it must have contained dos line feeds. I typed the simple script from scratch on my linux box and ran the thing again. And it worked. Gordon and Richard, thanks for the help. Just one more thing. Is it possible to configure samba to transfer the files as binary from a windows machine to a linux machine? I will use ftp if I have to, but would rather keep my ftp port closed.
