When visiting your page I get:
'403 Permission Denied
You do not have permission for this request /gallery2/main.php'
Gallery will run fine with the old files.
you can remove them at the shell prompt:

You/yourhost must have done something to get the permission denied error. It is not related to the cleanup.sh
Like I said gallery will run fine with the old files, so fix the permissions first before worrying about the old files.

There has been a lot of people asking the same question...
this is how I did it
upload cleanup.sh to yoursite.com/gallery2
make a simple PHP file with one line...
<?php system("/bin/sh cleanup.sh"); ?>
save as cleanup.php and upload it to yoursite.com/gallery2
open web browser and go to yoursite.com/gallery2/cleanup.php
you will see the page working like it's trying to open...
then a blank page
your all done.
check in FTP to see if files are gone.
if you would like confirmation, open cleanup.sh in a text editor and put ECHO "COMPLETE!" as the last line and save it.

This was very helpful... thanks. If anyone is still having problems with this, make sure the php and sh files are set to chmod 777 (I am not sure if they need that much permission, but that worked for me).
