If you try to execute the script as the user running the Asterisk binary 
from the command line, what do you get?

For example:

 	sudo -s -u asterisk
 	/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/testera.agi </dev/null

If that executes, I'd take a peek at the environment variables of the 
Asterisk process to ensure /usr/bin/ is in the PATH.

For example:

 	sudo cat /proc/$(pidof asterisk)/environ\
 		| tr '\0' '\n'\
 		| grep PATH

Keep in mind, an AGI interfaces with Asterisk via STDIN and STDOUT so you 
can test an AGI (within obvious limitations) completely outside of 
Asterisk by redirecting STDIN and STDOUT. For example, given a file 
testera.stdin containing:

agi_request: testera.agi
agi_channel: DAHDI/23-1
agi_language: en
agi_type: DAHDI
agi_uniqueid: 1310825293.10
agi_version: 1.6.2.19
agi_callerid: 112686649
agi_calleridname: unknown
agi_callingpres: 3
agi_callingani2: 0
agi_callington: 33
agi_callingtns: 0
agi_dnid: 8212
agi_rdnis: unknown
agi_context: from-pstn
agi_extension: 8212
agi_priority: 2
agi_enhanced: 0.0
agi_accountcode:
agi_threadid: -1223132272

200 result=0
200 result=0
200 result=0

You can execute the AGI like:

 	/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/testera.agi <testera.stdin

and your script should display:

 	STREAM FILE /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en/tt-monkeys #

which, obviously, will not succeed because your AGI is 'talking' to your 
shell, not Asterisk.
