Thank you for the pointer; that solves one of my problems.
The other problem remains -- bash will not execute files that it should,
based on ownership and permissions.
I still need to figure that one out.

Nope, setiathome is binary.

The fact that bash gives "cannot execute binary file"
The fact that bash gives "cannot execute binary file"
suggests that "setiathome" is an executable and not a
script.
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
I downloaded a new copy of the setiathome binary. The permissions are 555.
Why would adding write permission for the user (and removing execute
permissions for group and other) help?
I tried your other suggestion, with the following results:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/files/seti$ bash setiathome

Might want to try either
bash setiathome
or
chmod 744 setiathome
./setiathome
That has happened to me a few times...

I would be suspicious about the setting of the first line of the script.
It should say:
#!/bin/sh
and probably
