Sounds like the script file is in DOS format (perhaps you edited/created it in windows), try this in ubuntu:

Code:
$ dos2unix your_script.sh

I found this last night when I was doing a search. Now the issue is the zip file creates the folder structure with the zip which is not what I need. Meaning: Folder>Folder>Folder>contents because the bash script calls the directory

what I referenced

EDIT:
I also need the zip folders a certain way. I need it to be zip>contents not zip>folder>contents.

This error means, "stop editing your UNIX scripts in Microsoft Notepad".

Edit your UNIX scripts in UNIX using a UNIX text editor like vim, vi, nano, pico, emacs, or whatever you want. Don't do it in Microsoft Windows.

Use the "-j" option to not store the path:
Code:
# Zip files
zip -j $ZIPPED/zipfile $DIR/*

-j  Store  just the name of a saved file (junk the path), and do not
    store directory names. By default, zip will store the full  path
    (relative to the current path).
