How to run a bash script on Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

All my bash scripts don't seem to run on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I created a dummy bash shell script (dummy.sh). The script's permissions are

-rwxr-xr-x@

The script has these lines:

#!/bin/bash
echo

My $PATH is 

/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/X11/bin

However, every time I try to run dummy.sh in my terminal, I get this error:

-bash: dummy.sh: command not found

bash is confirmed to be in /bin

Can somebody help me to determine why I can't run shell scripts I create?

You don’t have '.' in your path, and are not calling it with an explicit path.
