Sounds like the file start.sh is missing the x mode bits.


Code:
chmod u+x start.sh

Also you should explicitly state in the first line of the script what is the interpreter program that should be invoked to run the rest of the script.
For a shell script one of the following should do:
#!/bin/sh
#!/bin/ksh
#!/bin/bash
#!/bin/csh
