Unexpected Character '#' deploying to Heroku

I'm stuck trying to get my app to work on heroku. I can run locally and it works well, but when I deploy to heroku I get the following error: 

2012-05-18T21:26:18+00:00 app[web.1]:   (in /app/app/assets/javascripts/application.js.erb)):
2012-05-18T21:26:18+00:00 app[web.1]:     8:   <%= render 'layouts/shim'%>
2012-05-18T21:26:18+00:00 app[web.1]: ActionView::Template::Error (Unexpected character '#'
2012-05-18T21:26:18+00:00 app[web.1]:     4:   <title><%= full_title(yield(:title))%></title>
2012-05-18T21:26:18+00:00 app[web.1]: 
2012-05-18T21:26:18+00:00 app[web.1]:     5:   <%= stylesheet_link_tag    "application", :media => "all" %>
2012-05-18T21:26:18+00:00 app[web.1]:     7:   <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
2012-05-18T21:26:18+00:00 app[web.1]:     3: <head>
2012-05-18T21:26:18+00:00 app[web.1]:     6:   <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
2012-05-18T21:26:18+00:00 app[web.1]:   app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:6:in `_app_views_layouts_application_html_erb___39687462904242755_48413880'
2012-05-18T21:26:18+00:00 app[web.1]: 
2012-05-18T21:26:18+00:00 app[web.1]: 
 9: </head>

Initially I thought it was a coffeescript problem. But I have since gotten rid of any .coffee files just to see if it will work. Still, the same result

This is my application.js file:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery-ui
//= require_tree .

$(document).ready(function()
 {  

    function setCountdownTimer(element, year, month, day) {
        var date = new Date(year, month, day);
        $(element).countdown({until: date});
    }


    $('#hashtag_id').live('change', function() {
      $('#user_comments').empty();
      $.ajax({ url: '/headlines/update_comments/',
        data: {hashtag: this.value, id: $('#headline_tag').data('id')},
        success: function(data) {
            $('#user_comments').html(data);
          }
      })
    });

});

Any ideas?

This error occurs often in tandem with another asset pipeline error when Devise is installed. Before investigating the solutions stated here rails 3.1.0 ActionView::Template::Error (application.css isn't precompiled) try Snowangel's suggestion first to save time.

Have you changed any of the coffee script files to just js files, and left the comments at the top in: 

# Place all the behaviors and hooks related to the matching controller here.
# All this logic will automatically be available in application.js.
# You can use CoffeeScript in this file: http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/

Remove these comments, if so.
