Are you editing these scripts in Notepad or something? There's garbage before the #!/bin/csh that's preventing it from working, I suspect it's a Unicode byte-order indicator inserted by a Windows program. Try running 'nano ss1.txt' in the shell to get a proper editor inside Linux.

[edit] In fact, delete the file and create a whole new one with nano. You'll probably have problems with carriage returns until you make a new file.
