Also of note is the alarmd schedule. I use the 'cron string' scheduling in alarmd as I only want this script to run during my working hours.
Examples:
*/5 9-17 * * 1-5 <-- Every 5 minutes, 9am til 5pm, Mon to Fri, 365 days a year.
30 * * * 1-5 <-- Half past every hour, weekdays

Attached is the script I use as a file.
If you still have problems it might be worth using another folder to hold your scripts; anything under MyDocs is on the 32GB drive which is a FAT32 format and so cannot be given execute permissions. I use /home/user/scripts as for my bash scripts.
However, it might be a moot point. When I opened alarmed today I noticed that "connect to network" is a built-in event type. Don't think that was there earlier in the year. So maybe the script is no longer necessary.

feature was just added last month! :-D

aww dang. alarmed built-in network connect does not check to see if you are already connected to the network. so it will perpetually disconnect and reconnect in our usage case. Looks like I still need the script.
