The script must be executable (try “chmod +x name-of-your-copy-of-the-script”). Unlike Windows, which will simply attempt to execute anything with a .EXE, .COM, .BAT, or .CMD extension (among others), Linux and other similar systems have to be told that you want to execute something. This is a rather nice feature because it means that if you don't want to run a particular program (or don't want others to do so) you don't have to uninstall it, just take execute permission away from it.
If you've already done that, then make sure that you have an absolute path in the “custom command” box.
If neither of those things work, e-mail me some more information at michael.trausch@gmail.com and we can talk about it more!
