You used backquotes "`" so the shell tries to execute \u:\w\$ as a command. Change them to single quotes "'". If you're not sure of the difference between single quotes, backquotes and double quotes in shell scripts I recommend you spend a little time studying it - it's very important and knowing it could save you a lot of time fixing problems like this.
