I didn't change any permissions, I just removed the #!/bin/sh line from one of the script files and then killed Nautilus. When it came back up the script menu was there -- but it contained only the script from which I'd removed #!/bin/sh. Now the question is: why doesn't Nautilus recognise them as scripts unless they have no #!/bin/sh on the first line? A pretty wild guess might be something screwed up with mime types, but beyond that I'm a bit lost. Thanks for the help though.
