Janina Sajka's comments on Bash Problem were as follows:
# for in $( ls); do
# if [ "$i" != "incoming/" ]; then
# echo $i
# fi
# done

If I paste the above lines into a file exactly as written, I get syntax errors
on line 1.  If I change

for in $( ls); do

to

for i in $( ls); do

it works fine in my bash 3.0 both at the prompt and as a script.
