You missed the "grep" command:

grep bwurzbur /etc/passwd | od -c

(or, my suggestions):

grep bwurzbur /etc/passwd | cat --show-all

Are you sure it has no whitespace in the end? Please send this:
grep bwurzbur /etc/passwd | od -c
What makes it even more suspicious is that in Omer's Reply there is no
space between '/bin/bash' and 'does not exist' while in your original
email, in the html version (and this one time it was valuable, sending
html mail), it's '/bin/bash&nbsp; does not exist'. I don't know exactly
how you copy/pasted it, but either you added a strong space somehow or
it was there.
