Sorry, I missed the part about logging out and back in before. In that 
case, this is a strange issue.

Have you varified that the executables exist and are executable when you 
try them? Are you sure that you've typed them correctly? Have you tried 
entering the entire paths of the executables? Are any of the executables 
scripts with initial shebang (#!) lines, and, if so, do the targets of 
the lines exist?
