Since /home/user is probably not on your path (for good security reasons),
I would not expect this to run anyway.
Try moving it to /home/user/bin or a directory that is in your path.
On my CentOS4.1 system, putting it in /root does not make it work - I
still have to do ./test.sh. /root is not in the path. QED.
What are the directory permissions as well? ls -ld /home/user and compare
with ls -ld /root or wherever it runs OK. You only need execute access on
a directory to be able to use it but you need read access if you want to
find a file in it.
Have you tried strace?
strace ./test.sh 2>&1 > test.trace (or whatever)
will put a lot of stuff in test.trace. Usually it is some permission
issue as you can execute it from root but not from your home directory.
Look for permission denied and other strings in the output.
Most of the obvious possibilities have already been discussed -
reinstalling coreutils or binutils or whatever, filesystem mounted noexec
(that's caught me out a few times - now I have a great big README in the
root directory of any noexec filesystem).
