what is your FreeBSD version ( uname -a  ) and bash ( I assume that
you are using bash )?

What is cat myscript | head 1 and ls -l myscript ?

what is your $PATH ( run: echo $PATH )
if you do chmod 700 myscript, then only the person who owns the file
myscript can execute the script. If you want to let other user ( cron
deamon, or other users )
be able to run that, do chmod +x myscript.

I don't think .profile and umask has anything to do with myscript.

.profile: your shell's startup file
umask: default permission when you "touch".
