Okay, this is just a hunch. But it looks like all those error messages are thrown by the shell, and not the expect command.

You may want to check a few things -

(a) see if "expect" is actually at "/opt/sfw/bin/expect".
(b) see if "/opt/sfw/bin" is in your PATH
(c) feed your script to the "expect" command
(d) if the shebang is correct, then add executable permission to the script and execute it rather than sourcing it.

And did you feed your script to the expect command?
