  - check that the script is 755 or 555 permissions

  - become the nut user with su, /bin/sh, and clear out the environment.
    Set PATH to dafault.  Then
      /usr/local/bin/mailme foo bar baz
    and see what happens

  - read /var/log/messages and /var/log/maillog, or however you spell
    those logs on your system
