It would be "sh NVIDIA.... --add..." of course. Think about it... bash 
would try to run a non-existing
'-add-this-kernel' file otherwise. That said, it this doesn't fix the 
problem, which is that the Nvidia building
procedure will complain when the system compiler doesn't match what the 
kernel is built with. Do
'export CC=gcc32' to fix that.
