The other command reads as you suggested...

peter@zebidee ~ $ ls -a /opt/cdf/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux
. .. .CreationID espeak gltest nbcat sicheck WolframCDFPlayer
peter@zebidee ~ $ md5sum /home/peter/Downloads/CDFPlayer_8.0.3_LINUX.sh

What happens if you try to run the executable directly with:
Code:
/opt/cdf/Executables/wolframcdfplayer

OK, I'm baffled... the directory listing of:
/opt/cdf/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux

Clearly show the file as present:
Quote:
. .. .CreationID espeak gltest nbcat sicheck WolframCDFPlayer


And it runs perfectly on my Ubuntu 11.04 64bit.

[EDIT]

Can you post the output from:
Code:
ls -l /opt/cdf/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux


Expected output:

OK, not a permission issue then... sorry but we've reached the end of my knowledge.

Seems odd that the application cannot find the WolframCDFPlayer binary, when the system can clearly see it.
