Where by "system", you mean "root", of course...  It's probably owned by
root too; but that doesn't matter, as root can execute the script if
/anyone/ has execute permission for it.

You shouldn't need to.  It's more normal to give it rwxr-xr-x (or 0755)
permissions, which means that anyone can read or execute, but only the
owner can write, but the permissions that you've got should work just as
well.

Do the scripts start with the appropriate magic line to mark them as a
shell script?  (Usually "#! /bin/sh".)  If you copied the script from
another machine, perhaps they have Windows or Mac style line endings?
