No, it's not related to the kernel. It could have to do with the version of your shell, but more likely it's something like an invisible or incorrect character in the input which you cannot easily copy/paste here.
If you copy+paste back what you posted above, do you still get the error?
If so, can you run it with sh -vx scriptname and post the result here?
