bash problem. (Am I missing something?)

["Buckingham,Mark,SOLON,NUSA" <mark dot buckingham at us dot nestle dot com>]

I downloaded the coolview patch, and have run into a strange problem 
with bash:

let's say I have a file called test.sh:
------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

export TESTVAR=1
------------------------------

If I try to run it, (after chmod-ing and all that...)

like this:

sh-2.01$ . ./test.sh

I get this error:

sh: ./test.sh: error 0

And the TESTVAR variable isn't defined.  Can anyone tell me what I'm 
doing wrong?

Thanks.
