If you have some debug output in your script, for example
echo "script started" >> /tmp/script.txt

Does it write it to the target file?

That is just one way of starting it, just to make sure we are talking about

Script parameter 0 usually contains script name and the path it was invoked

Can you attach the script?
Maybe you are assuming something like PATH including a certain directory added 
to it in .bashrc, etc
