Problem with cd in Cygwin scripts

Last night I updated Cygwin, and I've had problems with my scripts 
afterwards.  I tried on the web and found some similar issues from 2004, 
but with no resolutions.

I am running:
 > uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 davesxp 1.5.22(0.156/4/2) 2006-11-13 17:01 i686 Cygwin

I can manually use the "cd" command without problems, but when I try to 
use it in a script, I just get:
: No such file or directory

The top of the script that I am trying to run looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
#
rm -f putfile
echo "put supernova.html" > putfile
# Check the sn2006 directory
cd sn2006
down=0
.....
cd ../sn2005

Manually, all of these cd commands work, but when I put them in a script 
I only get errors.  I run the script with:
. /home/dave/scripts/buildput

Any ideas?
