After taking a nap on this, it dawned on me that my user would have to 
read the script before executing the script, so adding read permission 
to the script allows my normal user to run it:

[user@FED bin]$ pwd
/usr/local/bin
[user@FED bin]$ ll
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 42 Jan 25 16:01 xx

Thanks again for all the help!
