StartupItem with syntax error (sh script)

Question

I'm comfy on the cli but still green with scripting it. I've followed the Apple tut on making a StartupItem, but I am getting simple (I hope) sh syntax errors when I run it. The three *Service functions are required, as they're called by the RunService function (from the sourced rc.common script) ... all per the Apple tutorial.
In any case, the error I get is:
line 7: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
/Library/StartupItems/blah/blah: line 7: `}'
The complaint is about the bracing earlier in execution than the 'tricky' stuff. I hope that suggests the problem is here and not in my Boot.bash script. I'll post that too if, as I'm noticing with scripting, the complaints about eofs and bracing and such are not where the real problem lies. I'm a bash person though so, especially if this is just an sh syntax misuse, feel free to give me what for.
Any thoughts, fixes, or straight advice appreciated,
Joel

Hi Joel,
   I've actually read a scripting guide that recommends defining functions with the "function" keyword and the norm is to put a space before and after the "()". However, your syntax is valid. In fact I see no errors at all; the script should work.
   Thus, the problem is most likely something invisible. It's time to investigate the text editor you used to create the script. You should open the script in a UNIX text editor, like vim, and look for hidden characters or Mac line endings. An even better solution might be to get the free text editor TextWrangler, (or BBEdit if you have it) open the file and set it to show invisible characters. It will also tell you what kind of line endings are used in the file. You might also post a long listing of the StartupItem script.
