How can I start a Shell-Script from the Desktop?

I have copied a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon/
and Changed the Exec line to

Exec=/bin/sh "/home/user/myscript.sh"

/home/user/myscript.sh exists and is executable, and works like expected when started from a shell.

But clicking on the Starter does nothing.

Should be /bin/sh. And should probably run with just /home/user/myscript.sh if it is executable.

Sorry it is. And I tried to start it directly too.
my script myscript does nothing but running syncevolution.

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/syncevolution funambol

the Starter:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=syncfunambol
Icon=vim
Exec=/bin/sh "/home/user/myscript.sh"
Type=Application
