The syntax of that file is most definitely tcsh, not bash, at least if  
his XeLaTeX.engine is anything like mine, so bash will balk on it.

I don't know what mechanism TeXShop uses for setting the path for the  
standard pdflatex engine (does that use the engine mechanism at all,  
or are those default engines completely different?)

Here is the equivalent bash syntax:

#!/bin/bash

PATH="$PATH:/usr/texbin:/usr/local/bin"
xelatex "$1"

# end of XeLaTeX.engine as bash.
