Why won't #!/bin/sh scripts run on their own?

Sorry for the bandwidth, but I can't find a reference to this problem
anywhere in the FAQ, docs, or ml archive.
My shell scripts which have the #! declaration on the first line show up
in 'ls -l' as executable, but when I try to invoke them, they wont run.
Here is a session that demonstrates the problem:
/home> ls -l
total 1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 500 everyone 24 Apr 12 23:47 test.sh
/home> cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo testing!
/home> /bin/sh test.sh
testing!
/home> sh test.sh
testing!
/home> test.sh
BASH.EXE: ./test.sh: No such file or directory
/home>
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
This is happening under Win95 at home. I am also running the same
install under NT 4.0 at work, and this problem doesn't show up.
Thanks!
