or just try if it works if you change it to /bin/sh and use whatever FreeBSD has that pointing to.
That fails because /bin/sh equals /bin/csh at FBSD.
I don't know if it fails or not, but if it does this is not the reason.
/bin/sh most certainly is not /bin/csh;
Ups. Yes, that is correct. Sorry, my fault.
if it were, the system would not boot given that all the rc start-up scripts are written in Bourne shell.
But here I will insist on /bin/sh != /bin/bash ;-) The FBSD OS is bourne free, if I am not mistaken again.
OTOH, /bin/csh and /bin/tcsh are identical:

ls -al /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/bash (FBSD 10.1-STABLE): | -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel uarch 142144 May 8 13:57 /bin/sh | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel uarch 895712 May 8 13:09 /usr/local/bin/bash
JFTR: Both scripts fail to run with FBSD's /bin/sh (lot of syntax errors), but run to completion when modifying the first line to "#!/usr/local/bin/bash" (needed, because ports are installed into /usr/local).
