This may be the same as a problem I had.  The scheduler runs as root, and
AIX imposes restrictions on running scripts as root.  I don't know the
syntax for ksh/sh offhand, but to get a csh script to run you need

#!/bin/csh -b

at the top.  The -b flag is required.  It indicates a "break" in option
processing; everything after it is interpreted as an argument, rather than
a csh option flag.  I *think* the option for ksh is -b as well, but I'm not
sure.  Try

#!/bin/ksh -b
