I had a similar problem until I realized that the file I was working on was created on Windows too.
I fixed it with:
sed -i 's/r$//'

The reason for this error is that the control character sequence used by DOS (Windows, rn) is different from the sequnce used by UNIX (*NIX, n)

all kinds of errors will popup if you write this (or any) script on windows. i was almost giving up when i realised i had written it on notepad and saved on the linux box over samba. use dostounix to fix the format.
