The problem is probably that you need to mark the scripts as executable on linux.

For example

chmod u+x myscriptname.sh

OT:
may I ask why you use -b 192 and -B 320 when using -V4 ? -mj is also the default. Seems odd.

If you use bash, you need something like:

CODE

list=`ls ~/path-to-your-waves`

for files in $list
do
if [[ -f $files && ${files: -3} == "wav" ]]; then
lame -V4 $files
fi
done

just write a for/do script to encode.

CODE

#!/bin/sh
for file in *wav
do
lame --alt-preset standard "$file"
done

CODE

#!/bin/sh
for dir in *
do
cd "$dir"
~/bin/myfuzzylamescript.sh
cd ..
done

i have tried the scripts in the way that my batch files were written: bash -x scriptname.sh
it said it couldn't find the files
how do split the commands so you can use only one shell script file?
do i need to add #!/bin/bash before each lame command?
