Let me guess:  you saved the file as a DOS text file,
getting "\r\n" as end-of-line characters, and then the
OS tries to load the interpreter "/bin/bash\r", which does
not exist indeed.
(To see the complete error message, including the ctrl-M, do:

./thescript 2>&1 | cat -v

Use "dos2unix" to correct this,
or do:  tr -d '\r' < thefile > anewfile
