Firstly, you say "It looks like it runs"

What evidence do you have for this?

What entries appear in the webserver logs on the server after attempting 
this? You probably want to check any log file in the apache logs dir that 
has it's timestamp modified when you try and access the script.

What entries appear in the webserver logs on the server after attempting 
this?

Are you sure that the webserver is configured to run .sh files as shell 
scripts and pipe the output of the script back to the http session?

Are you sure that the script is executable by the webserver process? 
Execute permissions for relevant users / groups / world?
