OK, now using that convention

Ok this is very strange, my script is very small 30 odd lines, using the 
correct convention I still get an error. Here's a script with ONLY the 
offending commands as follows with the subsequent error:

#!/bin/sh

# g.parser demo script for shell programing

#%module
#%  description: g.parser test script
#%end
#%option
#% key: input_vector
#% type: string
#% gisprompt: old,vector,vector
#% description: shoreline vector file
#% required : yes
#%end

     exit 1
fi
if [ "$1" != "@ARGS_PARSED@" ] ; then
     exec g.parser "$0" "$@"
fi

if [ -n "$GIS_OPT_OPTION1" ] ; then
     echo "Value of GIS_OPT_OPTION1: '$GIS_OPT_OPTION1'"
fi

If my script appears correct and I still cant correctly remove the temp 
layer I've created  does this mean I've got a setting deep in GRASS set 
incorrectly, or is it related to the fact I'm running winGRASS? Perhaps 
something to do with the data? Permissions problems (my go-to bug in 
LINUX) seem unlikely if GRASS made the file to begin with. I'm stumped, 
nothing I've read so far seems to relate. Perhaps this is a simple 
enough script for someone to copy and paste into winGRASS/GRASS and confirm?
