Try simplifying to this..

Code:
#!/bin/sh

cat /home/brdholman/testing/Tar/Message.dat | while read LINE
do
     VERSION="$LINE"
     cat Version.txt | while read LINE2
     do
          if test "$LINE2" = "$VERSION"
          then
              echo "$VERSION"
          fi
     done
done

I don't think the "continue" adds anything positive.
