Your script likely has as the first line:
#!/usr/local/bin/bash

I would suspect /usr/local/bin is not in the path of the problem accounts 
or isn't in /etc/shells, or is restricted to run for only some users and 
groups.  Check the bash executable doing:
ls -al /usr/local/bin/bash
it should be executable by everyone.
