I dont see any issues here,esp when you say that the same commands when cut and pasted onto the terminal yield the result...
(Am no expert either!!)
However you could try this to figure out the error you have (if any )in the script...
bash -xv <your script>
This should be a good starting point....
Secondly you could try this...
/usr/bin/touch <your file name>
and see if it works!!!!
would like to know what happens,keep me posted!!!

touch - Sets access and modification time of file
SYNOPSIS
bool touch (string $filename, [int $time = time()], [int $atime])
DESCRIPTION
Attempts to set the access and modification times of the file named in the $filename parameter to the value given in $time. Note that the
access time is always modified, regardless of the number of parameters.
If the file does not exist, it will be created.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- The name of the file being touched.
o $time
- The touch time. If $time is not supplied, the current system time is used.
o $atime
- If present, the access time of the given filename is set to the value of $atime. Otherwise, it is set to the value passed to the
$time parameter. If neither are present, the current system time is used.

echo 'Whoops, something went wrong...';
} else {
echo 'Touched file with success';

NOTES
