Perhaps ./setiathome is a script, using #!/bin/bash as its interpreter, it is calling another (binary) executable, that does not have execute permissions.
I don't have the latest version of setiathome, so this is all speculation, but it would seem to explain everything I have read in this thread so far.

The default permission of 555 is ok, that is read + execute for all users: 4 (read) + 1 (execute). If you run it like ./setiathome or /directory/where/program/is/setiathome then there is something wrong with the program.
