SyntaxError: Unexpected token > in Coffeescript

I just started learning Coffeescript and have syntax error that I can't figure out. I have written the following code:

exports.list = (req, res) ->
  User.find({}).select('username').exec (err, results) ->
    if err
      res.send(err)
    else
      console.log(results)
      viewData = 
        title: 'Users'
        users: results

      res.render 'users', viewData
    return
  return

When executed it throws SyntaxError: Unexpected token > on line 1, but as far as I know this should be the right syntax for Coffeescript?

The code is valid CoffeeScript.

It appears that whatever is executing this code is expecting JavaScript, not CoffeeScript. By pasting your code into a JavaScript console I got the exact same error.
