I don't understand.

[trevor]

installed scripts should be executable, none of mine are when using this method

found it

1. error occurs when /usr/local/bin precedes /usr/bin

2. i recently updated file and installed in /usr/local/bin/file - see https://github.com/adamv/homebrew-alt/blob/master/duplicates/file-formula.rb

3. when /usr/local/bin/file is used, the executable bit is not set, it is with /usr/bin/file

i don't know enough about the internals to know where to go from here for an ultimate fix
