Strange suppression of output with bash and cygwin

Hi, although I am not expert in bash, so please forgive me if this is silly, I think that this is strange:

I have this command:
Code:
find . -type f -print0 |xargs -0 grep -i -e 'some rexp'

and it works fine. But when I create a bash script (on cygwin) to run this command, there is no output !!! This is the content of the script:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash -x
find . -type f -print0 |xargs -0 grep -i -e 'some rexp'

Notice the -x in the shebang. I get the command at the standard output, but the output of grep is suppressed!

Can somebody give me any advice?
Thanks

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
