Even though you have .bat in your script file name, from the above it is
clear that you are running a c-shell script, an old habit of mine as well.
 The issue you are having on Mac OS X is most likely because your
"run_script.bat" file was created on Windows and has the funny MS-DOS line
ending characters. All you need to do is to run this utility on your file:

% dos2unix run_script.bat

Here is the catch: if dos2unix is not standard on Mac OS X. If it is not
available in your system you can install it from macports with

% sudo port install dos2unix

If you don't have macports installed, see here: http://www.macports.org/ or
ask your sys admin to install it for you. (It is possible that I included
some version of dos2unix with the opengrads win32 superpack, I can't
remember.)
