Denny, (Tja, ba!)
You said that the files are there, and in emacs they show as binary.
Is this true for the xsetup file as well?
Is the 'xsetup' file a shell script? If so, it is possible that the
first line of the xsetup file starts with:
#!/bin/<someshell>
which would instruct your bash to use 'someshell' to execute the
contents of xsetup. If then 'someshell' is not found, I believe this
would fail with such an error message.
If xsetup is a shell script, then actually 'any' call to an external
program may create such an error message.
OTOH, if xsetup *really* is a binary, then my response was useless and
my assumptions were wrong. :-)
Best regards
