Bash script error: bad fd number

I'm using a script to modify some mailboxes on a Zimbra server hosted on a Ubuntu server. This script checks if mailbox exists and, if so, proceeds the required change.

I get the error

scriptname.sh: 4: Syntax error: Bad fd number

Here's the script:

#!/bin/bash
email=$1
echo "Looking for $email"
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov ga "$email" displayName > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "Mailbox not found on this server"; exit 2;
fi
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov ModifyAccount "$email" zimbraMailTransport smtp:server.domain.com:25
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "Error updating Transport.";                                                     
    exit 3;
fi
echo "Transport updated";

The error is related to this line:

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov ga "$email" displayName > /dev/null 2>&1

I'm quite a newbie on bash, so.. I don't really know how to debug this.

For an unknown reason, a \r was added at the end of each line of the script.. Removed it with notepad++, and it worked like a charm. – Ashina
