Right click panel
Add To Panel
Custom Application Launcher
Type = Application in Terminal
Name = Whatever
Command = /home/corrie/corriebackup.sh (my example)

Make sure corriebackup.sh (or your file) is executable, "chmod +x
~/corriebackup.sh"

Example :
corrie at corrielaptop:~$ ls -altr ~/corriebackup.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 corrie corrie 2325 2010-02-19 09:15
/home/corrie/corriebackup.sh
