Desktop Link to Ruby Program

A little foundation - which is probably irrelevant. I have a ruby program that
I'd like to create a desktop link to (I'm running Hardy). I have a batch
scrip to execute it with the following commands:
cd /home/michael/magic/mp3_maker
ruby MP3Form.rb
The script is named mp3_maker.sh and is stored in my /scripts directory. If I
open a console and enter
/scripts/mp3_maker.sh
the program opens and runs cleanly. I have a desktop link created that has
this same command in it with the workpath of the directory containing the
ruby program. If I click on this desktop link, it looks like it's trying to
launch the program, then nothing happens. I don't know if there is a way to
see what errors it's encountering (I don't see an updated entry in /var/log).
Can anyone offer any help on how to get this working?
Thanks much
---Michael
