three examples when you copied the file in the documents directory via usb:

relative:
(when you open up xterm you're in /home/user/)

Code:

chmod +x MyDocs/.documents/move-opt.sh

absolute:

Code:

chmod +x /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/move-opt.sh

or first cd into the right directory:

Code:

cd MyDocs/.documents
chmod +x move-opt.sh

maybe you should learn how to get along with the terminal first before you do something big like moving system files around and symlinking them automatically....
