Making file executable

Hi guys, i'm trying to make a file called 'run-all-tests' executable but it is not letting me for some reason. I am presented with the following error: chmod: cannot access `./run-tests': No such file or directory

Basically i have a folder called ex3 and within that there are task folders: task1.2 task1.3 etc etc. and each of these tasks have a java program. I have made a run-tests file in each of these task folders:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
set -v
java {name of program}

I then created a run-all-tests file in the ex3 folder with following contents:
Code:
#!bin/bash
for task in task*
do
   echo "========================="
   echo "Task $task"
   echo "--------------------------------------"
   (cd $task; ./run-tests) 2>&1
done | less

I then ran chmod +x ./run-tests and it didnt work.

Any help?

Kind regards

Shyam
