No, Linux does *not* work this way. It does not execute the script based on 
the file name.

There are two way to execute the script.

1) If you are sitting in a shell and the file is executable, you can type 
the name of the script and it will run the interpreter that is listed at 
the beginning. Matt has this:

#!/bin/csh

2) You can specify what interpreter should run the script:

csh foo.bat

I was able to replicate the problem by turning off the executable bit. That is:

  * With the executable bit on, Condor was able to run the script
  * With the executable bit off, Condor was unable to run the script.

You can either twiddle the executable bit, or you can change part of your 
submit file:

executable = /bin/csh
arguments = foo.bat

You probably also should set:

transfer_executable = false
