Is it possible your home partition is mounted with 'noexec' ?

What happens if you create a new user, and try it from their account?

Also, as before:
What is the output of 'mount' on its own?
Also what happens if you do it as root?

The kludge script above ran fine as root, and it displayed:
"bash" followed by
"it works"
So I copied it over to jazze17's home, knowing that it's clean, and
made jazze17 the owner and chmod +x but still got denied.

For kicks I copied it over to another user jazze, from root's home.
and chown & chmod and also got denied. Is the 'noexec' the key?

Turns out it is. Went into /etc/fstab, set the partition to 'defaults
1,2'. Works now. Thanks lordy! And to all who participated, thanks for
playing! What a downer. Am trying to recall where this one got set
during installation

The noexec, in the above line, is the cause of the problems.
Change the line in /etc/fstab.

Directory and filenames are case sensetive, in linux.

/HOME, is not the same as /home. Linux usually uses /home.
Having /USR, /MEDIA, /HOME, /VAR, and /ROOT, instead
of /usr, /media, /home, /var, and /ROOT is going to
cause a lot of problems. Right now, I expect all of the
directory/mountpoints, with uppercase names, are being
completly ignored, and empty, unless you've manuall copied
files to them.

Understood. I have old apps lying there, from Mandrake 10.1 and some
mp3's and they are on a separate harddrive. Didn't want to go thru the
trouble of locating updated RPMs (if any exist) or using the available
space on the new hard drive when I did the upgrade to Mandriva.
