I've set up cron to run a simple hello world shell script, but it's giving me an error that Google isn't helping me resolve. I've got to be missing something really simple!

Here's my crontab:

[email protected]
SHELL=/bin/bash
30 * * * * * $HOME/hello.sh

Here's hello.sh:

#!/bin/bash                                                                                       
echo HELLO WORLD!

I get this error email:

/bin/bash: 555: command not found

I have tried setting shell to /bin/sh but it makes no difference. I still get an analogous error message.
