His problem is that he is using Unix or a shell that behaves as
a Unix-shell:

       If the program is a file beginning with #!, the  remainder
       of  the  first  line specifies an interpreter for the pro­
       gram.  The shell executes  the  specified  interpreter  on
       operating  systems that do not handle this executable for­
       mat themselves.  The arguments to the interpreter  consist
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
       of  a  single  optional argument following the interpreter
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
       name on the first line of the  program,  followed  by  the
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
       name of the program, followed by the command arguments, if
       any.

This is from the bash man page, but other shells should do the same thing, 
and it is the normal behaviour for #!-scripts under Unix.

Yours, Florian.
