Without knowing what the script looks like, one can only guess.

Are you using dos2unix or similar command in your script?


On non-i386 systems, dos2unix will attempt to obtain the
keyboard type to determine which code page to use. Other-
wise, the default is US. The user may override the code page
with one of the following options:

-437 Use US code page

-850 Use multilingual code page

-860 Use Portuguese code page
