1. Try switching to #!/bin/bash - I think the "$@" is a bash-specific
extension which might be disabled if bash is called as "sh".
2. Add double-quotes around the "$@", (ie. make it read 'nice ffmpege
"$@"' without the single-quotes)

BTW - if the "nice ffmpeg" is the last line in the script then you can
add an "exec" in front of it.
