Is that a space, between the #! and the /bin/sh ?
If so, remove it. The shebang line /should/ read

#!/bin/sh

with no spaces between the #! and the path to the interpreter

Yes.

If your shebang line is as you've transcribed it here, then it doesn't matter
whether or not there is a /bin/sh. The kernel isn't looking for file /bin/sh,
it's looking for " /bin/sh", which is a completely different file.

Probably.

Try the script without the space in the shebang line, or reply with a better
transcription of the shebang line.

Good luck
